MTB loop through Ryde, Sandown & Shanklin with lots of bridleways, tracks and cycle paths throughout. Fantastic views as I climbed up towards Culver. Tracks are very close to the cliff edge due to landslides in the first quarter of the climb. Also 2 gates either side of the Yarborough Monument you will have to carry your bike over.
