You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Looking to start visiting family in Dorset a bit more than I currently do in the new year, not one to miss an opportunity I’m going to start taking a bike with me for a bit of exploring
Family live within spitting distance of Wimborne Minster so looking to use that and the town square as a base / starting point
Also happy to travel a little while if the riding is going to be better
Would greatly appreciate any routes, loops (GPX files welcomed as I have the navigational skill set of a rocking horse) or just generally good riding / sights to be seen that anyone would be happy to share and would be worth checking out
singletrack hive…whatcha got?!?
TIA
There’s a fair bit, these are my local heat maps, what sort of riding are you after?
Feel free to follow and download gpx files

Thanks @jimmy748, will have a follow, looks like there is a fair bit to be had
in terms of types of ride I’d be just as happy to take the gravel bike as I would the big geared or SS bike so open to anything with as few a roads as can be had
I live in Wimborne. There's plenty of tracks that can be used to link up a 2-4hr ride from Wimborne but not much in terms of altitude or tech, though as per Jimmy748's heat map, if you travel slightly further afield over into the Purbecks or north Dorset there's a reasonable amount of good riding to explore.
There aren't many routes I can think of that you couldn't cover on a gravel bike over an MTB.

I live in Wimborne and ride with Dorset Rough Riders. They'll show you everything around the area.
thanks to you guys also, looks like there is plenty on nice riding to be had, just hoping now that I can make the time to visit more often to take advantage of it all
