I was thinking of Team Volta, but their group ride appears to be on Saturday and further East than you want to be... https://www.strava.com/clubs/129839/group_events/1...

Hot sure about groups but I can recommend some fantastic climbs / segments...

Coming from Wareham you could head up Creech hill (has a couple of 20% ramps)
https://www.strava.com/segments/668705

Kingston hill is also quite challenging:
https://www.strava.com/segments/4844662

From there the only place to head is into Swanage, and then out towards Sandbanks:
https://www.strava.com/segments/3950963

After that segment to get the miles in you can either head back to Corfe and head towards Lulworth, or head to Sandbanks and take the Sandbanks ferry and come back to Wareham via Upton.

Would love to join you but the wife would not be pleased if I buggered off to the Purbecks on a Sunday for a ride (a 50 mile ride with ferries would exceed my Sunday cycling pass time ).

Edited to add - you could try a variation of this route by one of the riders I follow on Strava:

Hope you enjoyed our 'hood Dizee?

If you "enjoyed" Creech we have plenty of Nice hills like that, we actually have a local hill climb series with all the local clubs from Bournemouth to Weymouth involved, although too many good riders for some of us to make any impact :-)
