I would suggest riding the Purbeck parts of Charlie's Gravel Dash route and adding in Woodhyde and Franks Tank trails. Go to Arne to sit on the beach as well if you like, but Studland with the nudists (I've never actually witnessed anyone nude there) would be just as good.

I'm doing battle with my social secretary about riding elsewhere that weekend but if (when) I lose that battle I might be interested in a mooch around the Purbecks instead, with or without overnight stop.
