Rough plan - will be leaving Chard early afternoon and doing a Dorset loop that will have us end up at the Rainbow Garage cafe in time for their bi-weekly bike meet, which starts around 17:30-18:00.
Cafe address is East Knighton, Dorchester DT2 8LF.

Re: Friday afternoon - Dorset ride & bike night 22nd Aug.
Yeh, that should be fine. Will likely be a 14:00 set off but need to sort the route to be sure.

Re: Friday afternoon - Dorset ride & bike night 22nd Aug.
This is the route I'm thinking of doing, takes in some good roads whilst staying as away from traffic as much as is reasonable.
Can stay even further away from traffic & holiday parks but then we'll only ride boring roads or tight country lanes... so I guess we'll just have to hope the bank holiday traffic gods are with us.
Meeting across from the Tesco filling station in Chard at 14:00 should be fine.
Drink & pee break at the cafe over looking Weymouth bay roughly 15:30, should get the Bike meet at 17:30'ish.
