Isle of Wight Wander(ers) Sat. 25th June 2011

[GrumpyGregry]

Anyone else fancy a clockwise, conversational pace, FNRttC-in-daylight stylee, trundle around the Isle of Wight, using the waymarked 'round the island' route meeting Ryde Esplanade at around 11:00?

Roughly 100km, roughly, I'm told, 1000m of climbing, relatively little traffic, think cycling 30 or more years ago, and car drivers who think they are French and give way to cyclists.

Nice little day out if the weather is good and the wind is kind.... easily accessible from the smoke.

I certainly fancy it...just not sure I will be allowed out that w/e.

 

[The Jogger]

Yes

 

[StuAff]

Count me in...I'll bow to your more recent knowledge and go with the fastcat option.

Having just returned from a long weekend on the Isle of Wight and falling in love with the cycling conditions.... yes, please count me in, too.

I'm just a bit worried that I'll hold you guys back a bit. But this hasn't kept me from various FNRttC's, so why should it stop me now?

Don't know if our paths have crossed on FNRttC, as I've not been on one this year, but trust me; I, for one, ride conversationally even when not taking part in a conversation.

We will have the pier swept for cats eyes

I will lurk for a few days until possible conflicts are resolved. MEANWHILE, has anyone researched the travel options from London please? I am loathe to do it myself since completion of research normally provokes withdrawl

 

[Paulus]

Train from Waterloo at either 08.30 arr. portsmouth Harbour 10.07. For the 10 15 fastcat service to Ryde. Or the
09.00 arr. portsmouth harbour 10.33. For the 10 40 fastcat service to Ryde.

Any help?

 

[gbs]

Paulus, excellent. I now cross my fingers and hope ...

 

[The Jogger]

I'll get my ticket for ferry and train inclusive at chichester, will I then have to pay for the bike at the ferry or can I do that at chi?

 

[Paulus]

If you are using Wight link ferries the bike goes for free.
