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 Short 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 77.3km with 601m of climbing, and is a Rolling route on the numbers. Its climbing comes in short rises rather than long sustained climbs.

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.

Event names and logos belong to their owners and are shown for identification only. London Dynamo is not affiliated with these events.

Notable climbs

No single climb on this route is long or steep enough to list.
