IoW Randonnee

Hi folks,

Anyone doing the Isle of Wight Randonnee next week (2/5)? If so, are people meeting to catch the ferry? I'm keen to get a few miles in before the HHH the week after next.

Cheers
Will

Hi will,

There are a good few of us up for the IOW. Keep watching the forum and we will put the time of the ferry we will be getting!!

Tel

Yep, Tony & I will be there

Sx

I'll be there for sure!

Me too!
Hx

count me in!

Won't be there this year I'm afraid - still you lot shouldn't get lost this time!!

I know the weather doesn't look that good for Sunday - but I'm still up for IoW. No-one's mentioned times yet - so unless I hear otherwise, I was reckoning on the 9am Portsmouth - Ryde ferry.

I think it's normally the 8.00 ferry - the event starts at 9.00 and it's a 40 minute ferry plus the ride to the start.
Was looking forward to it but looking at the forecast I suspect I'll be productive and do some more decorating, shame after the recent spell of decent weather.

Hmm 8am ferry - well OK I'll go for that one then (darn - earlier start - will probably be wet too, knowing my luck).

Just in Case the weather is friendly, when shall we meet at the ferry port?

Finger's crossed...

I'm still up for the I of W - just bought some mud guards so I'm all set. Getting the 8.00 ferry so we should start meeting at 7.30 / 7.45 - sorry Will.

I've had a look on the Wightlink web and it seems there isn't any special 2 for 1 deals appart from on the Cat, don't know whether we can do the group ticket we did last week.

As for the weather it appears to kick off at 13.00 so we can either wizz round and be on the ferry home or take shelter until it clears again - bout 16.00.

Hope to see some of you tomorrow

OK 7.30-ish is good. I've looked at the Met Office forecast - but hope they're overstating the crap weather. Even if I zoom around, I'm likely to get caught on my way back from Portsmouth according to the forecast

I believe that we will be texting round at 7am if weather as bad as they reckon it's gonna be.
Finger's crossed and keep your eyes open on the forum for last min cancellations by us fair weather riders.

If it's not tipping it down when I get up in the morning, I will meet you all at the ferry port at 745

Let's hope for good weather

I'm officially flaking out, hope the weather doesn't turn too bad! Have fun guys.

Sorry, but I'm also out. Forecast is just too bad. Will do a short ride now instead.

Have fun!

yeah, I'm gonna bail too.

Will pick a short ride if there's a clear spell, otherwise will go over to IOW during next week when sunny.
Have fun you more toughened ones and hopefully I will have a rain jacket for next year!
