Stage 7, Tour Of Britain Cycle Race – Saturday, 10th September

UPDATE:

 

We have many cycle enthusiasts in our parish and many who cycle through. For the first time*, Dorset will be providing a warm welcome to both competitors and spectators later this year at the penultimate Stage Seven of the Tour of Britain, the UK’s most prestigious cycle race, on Saturday, 10th September.


Stage seven
will take the riders from West Bay to Ferndown via one of the most stunning routes in Tour history. Stage seven will run parallel with the West Dorset Heritage coast before passing through Dorchester, West Lulworth and Corfe Castle.
The route then heads inland towards Wareham, Milton Abbas and Wimborne Minster and loops round into the heart of Ferndown town centre.
For any questions or enquiries about the Tour please email: dorsettour22@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk or visit the website HERE.
* While it may be the modern race’s first visit to Dorset, the county welcomed the Milk Race – a semi-professional forerunner of the Tour of Britain – on multiple occasions during the 1970s and 1980s.
