Stick to the south of the island, loads of well signed bridleways and pubs.

Tennyson trail is a good ride - not really technical but nice bridleways and anywhere over the downs from alum bay to ventnor is good really. Stick to the south wight though as 40mpg says.

Depends on what sort of stuff you are looking for really

If its a big ride - the 7 hills killer route is good

If its more techy stuff - a lot of the good stuff is not official and can be difficult to link up if you don't know the routes and also changes a lot

I'm not on the isle anymore, so a bit out of touch (although usually over once a month). If you want any info, emails in profile.

Cheers

Tim

Im on the island and would be happy to show you around. Loads of bridleways and cheeky stuff. South of the island the best. Draw a line from west of ryde to alum bay and stay south of that.
