Isle of Wight (clockwise)
A last minute decision got me up at 4:15am to catch a train to Plymouth for the ferry.
It was a hot day, but fun!
The roads on the island are comparable to those in France. Smooth tarmac, with hardly any potholes. There were only two segments that werent slinky…

Off to see the Nao Santa Maria
The replica of the 15th Century ship which Christopher Columbus used on his first expedition across the Atlantic Ocean 500 years ago has docked in Eastbourne. I thought I'd take my drone to get some pics. The seagulls didn't like it!

South Downsy Strade Bianchi to Southease
Another baking day. Another day for a bike ride!
After starting off on the South Downs Way, I took a different off-road route westward (after stopping for a Cheeky Armstrong) and discovered a great bridleway that passed through the Raffiney vineyard. That lead onto a Greenway that I recognised from…

The Old Bexhill West Railway and the 1066 Bexhill Walk (the rideable bits)
The disused Bexhill West Line is a strange thing. It isn't on and OS map as a footpath, so it's rarely used, and from the the state of some of the picnic tables, it's unloved. It cropped up on YouTube a month or two ago, so I had to discover…

To the new Cadence at Horam for a Cheeky Armstrong
As I find the Cuckoo Trail a bit draggy northwards, I took a more interesting route to visit the new Cadence Clubhouse Cafe at Horam. Starting off on the 1066 Country Walk from Rickney to Herstmonceux. I also rode along a nice bridleway at Cowbeech Hill that I've been meaning…

North London Dirt 9
My day started at 4am to catch the 5:20 train to London for this one!
I was just about to start this ride solo when my old friends from Singular Cycles' Chillifest arrived. It was great to catch up with old friends, even though I spent the day attempting to…
