Hi, and welcome. I'm envious of where you live - The Randonnee is one of the highlights of my cycling year.

We went to the Isle of Wight the other year and it was closed. Apparently everything opened in a fortnight

Stacy.

I spent a day cycling on the IoW last autumn with @Mattonsea of this parish. Loved every minute of it. Looking forward to a return trip.

Welcome along, I love riding on the I.O.W. I did the Randonee this year, it was a proper giggle. I should get over to the island more often than I do, because I live 2 minutes from the Red Funnel terminal that gets you to Cowes in an hour or so.

Welcome 'Munt from Winchester. Single speed on the IoW?! Watch those knees!

Hi Stacy,

Welcome to the forum. It's a great place to solve any technical issues and stay in touch with fellow cyclists everywhere. I'm on the Isle of Wight too, in Newport. What area are you? Love riding the lower central part of the island around Chillerton, Chale, Niton, Brighstone etc etc.

Welcome. I spent the other weekend cycling The Isle of Wight ,......oh the hills.

Funny how different folk see things in different ways eh Saucepot? I've seen various comments on this forum with reference to the hills on the island. I guess having lived here all my life, I've grown up riding them, to the point where I don't particularly pay any attention to their presence.

When I used to do a lot of mountain biking I've had mates from the mainland refuse to come over here because they didn't think there were any hills that would challenge them. Their loss I think!

I guess that as the island is only 26 miles by 13 miles you're not going to be able to ride too far without finding a hill.
