Brother in the Wild Dorset, our biggest event of the year, takes place on the Isle of Purbeck, a stunning peninsula filled with pine forests, dramatic coastal cliffs, beaches and endless gravel tracks. Riders will set up camp in the heart of a nature reserve and spend two days riding the gravel trails, country lanes and forest tracks that link up across the region. The routes, ranging from approx. 25 to 50 miles, will dip in and out of local towns with a number of pubs, cafes and wild swim spots along the way.

2025 Route Update: we’re working on an exciting new format for the routes next year, taking riders on some totally new trails! On Saturday there will be a short, regular and long option to choose from with some new swim spots and lunch stops to enjoy. All routes overlap with each other meaning you can choose to extend or shorten your ride as you go.

As always this event is as much about time off the bike as on; you’ll spend your evenings at basecamp, sat around a roaring campfire enjoying delicious local food and drink. There will also be plenty of entertainment throughout the weekend – including the following:

– ‘Friday Film Night’ – showing a selection of bikepacking and adventure films in the barn
– Inspiring and educational Fireside Talks on Saturday evening
– A live DJ set in the barn on Saturday night
– Our charity raffle returns with loads of cool prizes to be won!
– 2025 is also Brother Cycles’ 15th birthday, so we have some special surprises in store for everyone!
