Isle of Wight 2021 // Monday 10th May

Yo!

Let's get this going...

Same route as last time and anti-clockwise. I liked it.

Here is the route: https://www.strava.com/routes/24169069

More details about trains and stuff to come, but you should know the score by now.

Tasty

Right, I’ve got the day off work for this now.
Ved & Graham, are you riding or handing out bidons?

Very much riding.

🤜🏻🤛🏻

I hadn't appreciated that Ved and G were on IOW during half term tbh but obvious now I think about it..

Inevitably things will change much over the coming weeks and it probably wont be a ‘normal’ half term for us ie some sort of family break...

So, I am certainly up for it assuming we don't make the call to go away..

I still think there is a better chance of getting a few people out if the ride happens in a ’normal week’ - if there is such a thing... particularly if people have more flex due to more WFH etc

Right, you've got a year to train on Zwift for this one now.

We gonna go for the record?

Roll on 2021

What is the record?

Did Anton and Ved get refunds or are their hols still on at this point?

It was G and Ved

I'm fucking gutted tbh. Weather looks amazing and we are £400 quid out of pocket...

And you missed out on being in the track, trace and isolate experiment

Ah balls, sorry to hear that.

Hmmm... Chances of this being possible?

Fingers crossed.

G and I did IoW last year and was my longest ride of 2020 with something like 110km and 1000m of elevation some of it totally unecessary, just for bants.

We also didn't eat enough so slog back in the headwind home was pretty grim...

Good day tho, great weather.

In...fingers crossed

Shall we move this a week later to 17th May in hope that the ‘roadmap’ pans out?

I will need to consider my filofax.

I have an already brimming calendar ...
