As promised in an earlier thread (https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/m...-jolly-wheel-truing.91352/page-6#post-5741125)
the link below is the IOW 2-day tour I did with my son in September 2019.

Sounds like you had a great and interesting time. It's been years since I've been to the Isle of Wight and your posts have been intrigued.

Oh, and I hope you enjoyed your Chinese takeaway :

No that is 150. It was Sweet and Sour Pork Hong Kong Style.

I am going to do the IOW Randonnee next year. 3000-5000 people cycling around the Island in a single day.
I am chomping at the bit already.

(edit: I just noticed your location above. Poirot's address. I used to work near there in Farringdon [beautiful art-deco building]. Like the fictional detective my grandmother was a Belgian refugee in the first world war).

Nice report, we were there the week before with our bikes.

I am a huge Poirot and Christie fan (obviously). I've never been to Florin Court (the non-fictional name of the building), but would love to see it.
