2010-05-02 - Isle of Wight Randonnee

I'm potentially in for the day trip, if I go it'll be geared. Will confirm closer to the time.

Geared? Douche... ;)

I have a nice geared bike.

Last years looked like all kinds of win, would be up for camping. I'll have been officially recessioned a few days beforehand so am contemplating riding down and back again with camping in between.

Camping:

1. Arducius
   
2. Pifko
   
3. hoonz
   
   

Day trip:

1. wools
   
2. damo
   

Excellent, the more the merrier! Once we have a better idea of numbers for the camping I'll give the site a call to see about booking up some spaces.

last year we went from victoria to portsmouth. the people who turned up and had the group discount paid much cheaper than the ones who bought in advance. The ferry was two for the price of one as well.
wools i am up for group discount day trip. i don't mind paying all 4 and then people pay me back. Habbi are you doing it this year?
the train is be £58 return groupsave 4

shall i buy? I need 3 more ppl

^^ and ^^^
nice one fellas.
Did it clockwise in September - think I thought it was slightly tougher clockwise.
Either way... it's an truly great ride.

@Wools... Portsmouth it is!

i bought victoria to portsmouth 5.02 in the morning the same as last year -
4 tickets for 45.60
i need 3 people now

Excellent, tika what ferry are you planning to get and which checkpoint are you planning to start from? It would be good if the overnighters could meet up with the daytrippers!

The campsite I linked is a checkpoint so for those staying over it couldn't be much easier.

5.02? there's two of them in a day?

i will go to ryde. last time i went to wooton but then i had to finish at wooton so i missed the drinks.

@ damo 5.02 is the ony ne i found that will be at P at 9.30 i think

If there's a slacker contingent I'd be up for tagging onto that - there's a train leaves Waterloo at 8 that's straight through to Portsmouth Harbour, gets into Ryde 10:37 - still plenty of time to get round and maybe avoid the ferry rush hour in the morning? Being a terminal lazy arse - getting up at 4 on a Sunday just doesn't feature in my life paradigm :-0

Day trip:

1. wools
   
2. damo
   
3. tika
   

Cool, us overnighters can easily start from the camp site and meet the daytrippers at their first checkpoint. I'm assuming you're planning to head to Bembridge?

Day trip:

1. wools
   
2. damo
   
3. tika
   
4. Habbi
   

Tika, how do you want the cashmoney? Cheers for doing that by the way.

it was 11 pounds each so whenever you see me give me 11 and i will give you the ticket. I need to go to victoria station to get it from the machine first. the ferry we do it on the day with the voucher.

Arse, it appears wedding season starts this weekend.

Call in sick?

I'm on the head table, I'd end up in a world of pain.

VB, I can't see it being that much fun.

Isla Fisher won't be there?

Doubt it however I have it on good authority that Isla St Clair might be though.

How about Isla Wight? I'll get me coat...

Isla Bonita?

"last night i danced with a potato"

anyway. this 4am start is worrying.

IN. though.
