I'll be driving to the port and parking up there, so either are OK for me .... well, Southampton is better as closer, but Portsmouth not too bad

Hi @kipster I now have a pass for the IOW ride on 23rd Sept
Sorry I just missed the bit where you booked the ferry tickets! I am happy to book myself on the same crossings - can I just check the details below are all correct?

Hopefully will have a new bike by then too if Canyon get their act together!

I'm hoping my summer bike is back on the road by then as well, Bianchi put out a recall on the forks and said to stop riding it, they did this as the end of July and Italy seems to shut down during August, so I'm hoping for some new forks in early September, if not I'll be on the wet weather bike.
Brilliant - I'll get myself booked on. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Ah now that must be annoying - I'm frustrated enough waiting 3 days for Canyon to reply to my emails to arrange to get mine collected and a new one sent out!
It is, but to be fair to Bianchi, they replaced my four year old frame that had developed a crack where a cable entered the frame, no quibbles, and they even upgraded the frame to a better model. I'm assured that the new forks are on a boat heading for Italy.
It's great that you can make the IoW, it should be a great day out.
I got distracted by work (outrageous I know) before completing my ferry booking the other day, but all done now!
I will probably do a day trip rather than stay over, unless I can do some strong renegotiating with my wife in the meantime, considering we'll be back to full-on football season taxi service for my two boys by then! Hopefully I will at least have time to stay for one beer with you all (sorry - shandy
) before heading back
So perhaps nearer the time @kipster you could advise on whereabouts in Brockenhurst would be suitable for leaving the car all day?

I'm planning on the train station, google maps shows some car parking, no idea how much it will cost yet. Edit looks like £2 all day Saturday.I got distracted by work (outrageous I know) before completing my ferry booking the other day, but all done now!
