Isle of Wight Ride
The Tour of the Isle of Wight is now a London Dynamo summer tradition.
After an early morning ferry from Portsmouth, the route goes anti-clockwise round the island, taking in the chain link ferry at Cowes, the steep climb up to the view point of the Needles and the fast but breezy Military Road.
After a lunch stop in Ventnor (courtesy of David Stroud), some steep climbs are superseded by a very rolling route back to the ferry terminal. There is also an alternative option of a short cut across the island.
