About this route

This route was designed by the organisers of the Bournemouth Sportive, Wiggle and UK Cycling Events, not by London Dynamo.

Sportive routes change from year to year, and this page follows the 2013 Standard route. The Wiggle Bournemouth Sportive was part of the Wiggle Super Series and is no longer run.

On the route

In 2013 the Bournemouth Sportive started near Hurn, just north of Bournemouth, and took riders out into the country around the town.

The route measures 120.4km with 983m of climbing, which gives it a Terrain label of Rolling. Its notable climbs are listed below.

This page is for riding the route outside the sportive, on your own or with friends. There are no organised feed stops, so plan your food and water for the day.
