• Did the IoW loop yesterday with added miles to and from ferry for first 100miler of the year.

    Went anti clockwise to benefit from the hearty tailwind down the South West side, which was the right call I think!

    Lots of cyclists, seemed a few charity events going on. All very chatty. Met a fantastic fella in a Hawaiian shirt, Australian style brimed hat, tatty old MTB who's been riding the same weekend for 40 years now.

    Was also the round the island yacht race, so it was great to see so many boats every time you passed the coast! The ferry cutting through them home was nice, seeing them all so close.

    Not much else to report. Lovely smooth roads. Good cafe stop at West Wight Alpacas that was recommended. Lunch was at Smokey Jack's in Wroxal which was a bit dire, would avoid.
