We're aiming to meet up in the cafe at the end of Ryde pier about 09:30.
Theres a 2 for 1 offer on the wightlink website [url= http://www.wightlink.co.uk/special-offers/offers/2for1-foot-passenger-day-return.aspx ]HERE[/url], but you need to print off the page and buy the ferry ticket in the ferry terminal (bikes are free).
Boats leave portsmouth harbour railway station at xx:15 and xx:40 every hour and crossing takes about 20 mins. We'll then catch the train to Shanklin (£3.60 return) and start our ride from there. There may be some juggery pokery required to get us all on the train, so may need to split into a couple of groups and re-group in shanklin station.
Look forward to seeing you all on sat. Any problems or questions, drop me an e-mail.

Awesome, looking forward to it.
Any chance of fewer hills this time?
Sods law I'll be on the mainland, otherwise I may have seen about tagging along. As for the train, when me and some mates went bmxing in Sandown the conductor whinged about there being five of us, he said four bikes only.
mike61 Fewer hills? Erm.... Theres a couple of b@stard ones im afraid. But its a nice former railway track warm up for a couple of miles to start with.
Last bump before the ride.

That hill is a killer, evil beyond all evil.
Pity I saw this ride late, I'm on the island a fair bit.
Those who couldn't make it for the group ride are more than welcome to get in touch for a repeat or a varitation on it.
