Following several requests this is a ride for anyone wishing to do the complete circuit of the Isle of Wight. We will ride in at least 3 groups led by Dee, Clive and myself.
We will all go out on the 8.40am CAR ferry to Fishbourne. (meet at car ferry terminal around 8.15am)
Leaving Fishbourne we will go anti- clockwise and stop for coffee at the alpaca farm.
Lunch will be at the Wight Mouse pub.
We will stop for refreshments at Bembridge. Depending on the group you're with we will catch the 16.45pm or 17.45pm or 18.45pm (bookings flexible) Fastcat to Portsmouth Hard from Ryde ferry terminal.
We do not want to be rushing so unless you know you're a fast rider please make sure you have no deadline to be back for.
Please don't book the ferry until we are sure the weather will be reasonable. Let me know your preference for the group you ride with but I may have to allocate groups if any are too big.

About Wednesday rides

Wednesday rides usually start from Havant with stops for elevenses, lunch and sometimes tea. If you're unable to keep up or have a mechanical problem, someone will be available to help you - although we obviously cannot guarantee to solve all problems.

Wednesday rides usually provide a range of options to riders as we'll try to arrange multiple rides with different paces, distance and degree of hilliness.

On Wednesdays it is likely that there will be several riders coming back to the Havant area after an elevenses stop - although they might not include a PCTC ride leader. If that is what you'd like to do, please consult the ride organiser before the day of the ride to ensure someone knows and is able to bring you back.

This article describes what you should consider bringing with you on one of these rides.
