Dorset's Best Gravel Rides - A Cycling Adventure

Brother in the Wild is an event that takes place on the Isle of Purbeck, a peninsula in Dorset filled with pine forests, dramatic coastal cliffs, beaches and endless gravel tracks. Riders set up camp in the heart of a nature reserve and spend two days riding the gravel trails, country lanes and single track that link up across the region. The routes, ranging from 30 to 50 miles, dip in and out of local towns with several pubs, cafes and wild swim spots along the way. After breaking my wheel on the 2023 event, I'm very much looking forward to finishing a whole weekend at BitW for the first time. A big thank you goes to: Velo Domestique Cafe in Southbourne for organising the ride out on Friday. Brother Cycles for organising the full event. Jimmy’s coffee for feeling us as we cycled. All of the riders that I spent time with over the weekend. It was an absolute pleasure to spend time on the trails with you all.
