Well it's now official. I'm taking part in this years bike ride around the island. Campsite booked, pre-registered and just this minute bought the ferry tickets

 

63miles - I must be crazy!

[JJonas]

Its a very nice Island I worked there for 3 months and very popular with cyclists. Its very scenic so take a camera.

[Hightower]

63 miles? Owww, that's gonna hurt. Especially the price of petrol these days

[tmcd35]

er, wrong type of bike I'm not drinking petrol! I think I'll be mostly fueled by chocie bars thanks.

 

 

Yeah, It's a nice Island, I was there 5 years ago for the REM concert at the festival. Looking forward to going back. And camera is moste difinately at the ready

[DMcCoy]

Try not to run me over on my way to work like the other cyclists

Dried banana, a small pot of rice pudding and plenty of water. 63 miles really isn't a long way (unless you haven't been on a bike for a while). Just keep a steady cadence and 12 miles per hour should be achievable. Good luck.

I'm hoping to find a good down hill stretch to beat my 27mph record
