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

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.

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.
