The event was organised by the Rotary Club of Wareham with help from Rotary
clubs from Swanage, Bridport and Dorchester in addition to many friends of
Rotary.

Our next event is on the 17th September 2017. The event is suitable for all levels of
riders from the family ride up to the serious cyclists with routes from 10 miles up to
100 miles. So many people suffer from cancer and the work Cancer Research UK
does is making tremendous progress in finding cures for cancer.
The Rotary Club of Wareham is part of a worldwide voluntary organisation that
draws its members from men and women from all walks of life, who meet socially
and engage in charitable work; either by direct hands on activity or by raising
money for good causes. If you would like to join or find out more, email
