Already wondering where you can explore on your bike this weekend?

There are plenty of quieter corners of southern England to discover on the Chalk Way taster.

Part of the 576km Old Chalk Way, the route follows the rocky spine of chalk from the Dorset coast towards Norfolk, taking in gravel tracks, bridleways and quiet country roads.

This 88-mile section from Lyme Regis to Salisbury makes for a great weekend ride.
