Who's doing it this year?

 

[Paulus]

Probably, depending on work . This will be my 10th time.

 

[RUTHIEBAV]

Wow, that's impressive! It'll be my first time going clockwise.

Missed last year due to a reunion, I am negotiating!

I had this in mind, Ruth, but there's a Friday Night Ride on, er, the Friday night! I'm considering how I can manage to do both, otherwise I'll have to make a decision soon I think.

I'm thinking of doing both. But then I'm somewhat nearer the ferry!

First year in a long time that I won't be riding this (riding a sportive in Somerset). Shame, clockwise is the best direction too

Hmmm choices, choices!
Is your fitness up to both? Mind it's very hilly on Isle of Wight! You can decide close to the day.

Sounds like you could do with negotiating the OH onto a bike, solves a lot of problems!

It's hard to fit it all in isn't it. You're not far from me, are you doing the New Forest Wiggle in April?

I certainly am! I did that last year and thoroughly enjoyed it, so felt like a good idea to do again this year. I'm riding the Saturday. Fingers crossed the weather is as good as last year too

She is a keen cyclist, but the Randonnee is my time!

Well I don't know, but I'm doing the London to John O'Groats Fridays tour, so I need to be practising riding the miles day after day! It's more about how I get from Southend on Saturday morning to the island by the end of the day. I have a motorhome now, so I could grab some sleep in Southend then drive down and base myself on a site on the island ready for the Sunday morning.

If you use the Camber Jetty ferry to Fishbourne then it is a short hop to the Kite Hill campsite

Depending how close you want to be to the start you can camp about 6 feet from the checkpoint!

I was out for a cycle last year and got caught up in it by chance. It looked like fun so we've booked onto the Sunday one. We're hoping the kids can have a sleepover at my Mum's on Saturday night. If it works out we should have a lovely kid free day. Can't wait!

Will be attendance again this year with Quackers but sadly no support crew as OH is away.
