Gravel / mild offroad routes around Weymouth and Dorset

[lufbramatt]

Probably one for Yellowjack?

Heading down to Dorset next month, staying just west of Weymouth. Will be taking my gravel/cx bike. Any pointers for routes, trails, cafes that are worth checking out?

Can cope with singletrack type trails fine on that bike and don't mind a bit of road to link things together.

Hoping to get a couple of 20-30 mile loops in, not too far to avoid annoying the rest of the family...

Some really nice trails in Puddletown forest.

Ride up and round Portland will be memorable! Try linking this to the Rodwell trail by starting at Overcombe bay, through Weymouth town then along the Roswell up onto the top of Portland itself.
