James Quigley Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I am THE island rider you seek. There's a few of us and Ryde is the best place for a days ride.If you let us know when you're coming over we could round up the cars and take you on a Trials Roadtrip of the island, there's a few decent spots scattered around the place.PM me or whatever when you know when you're coming over and we'll sort something out.You'll never want to leave (or we wont let you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 we could round up the cars and take you on a Trials Roadtrip of the island, there's a few decent spots scattered around the place.Random question!! How long does it take to drive around the Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Well from one side to the other probably just under an hour.BUT to drive around it staying along the coast would take a couple.It's about 27 miles wide and about 17 miles tall.

James Quigley Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Planes are banned from the Isle of Wight Airspace, because of this the height doesn't become an issue.It's just a bitch when the Ferry goes over the side of the F**k off waterfall, in order to bring it level with Portsmouth.
