This is a great, fast ride for competent road cyclists. However, it does conclude with two strong climbs and a steep descent into Freshwater Bay.Note, that there is a good descent between the climbs, it is fast and short but does swing around to the right and is on the main road. The danger here is being caught by sudden gusts of cross wind when travelling g at speed on the descent. So just keep your wits about you and don't go hell for leather.

I regularly ride around the Isle of Wight once a year, and can recommend both the Military Road and the inland route taken by the "blue and white flags". In the warmer months of the year (April to October), I would suggest going on a weekday, when there is less holiday traffic.

absolutely gorgeous road to ride on, spectacular views. Just make sure to pick a day with as less wind as possible :-)

The Long Stone is a neolithic burial chamber, but legend has it that St Catherine threw the larger, tall stone from St Catherine's Down and this is where it landed. It is thought that the stone was used as a meeting place in Saxon times.

There are superb views of the south coast of the Isle of Wight from high up here at the Trig Point known as Five Barrows. Look carefully around and you will see remnants of its name sake. It is an ancient burial site and remains of the burial chambers, or barrows, are still visible.

nice long flat road to the needles and our camp site

Travelling East to West, The Military Road is one of best cycling roads in the UK. Smooth tarmac, pitched slightly downhill with only the occasional rise makes for a really good blast up the twin climbs.
