Isle of Wight route from Yarmouth?

miss notax

Hello

It's my birthday in a few weeks time, and I thoght I would incorporate visiting my folks in Yarmouth (for cake and pressies obviously ) with a days MTB ride

I've tried searching on-line and I think I have found an MBR hard route from Yarmouth, but can't find any info on it. Any ideas of which issue this was covered in (we have years worth of MBR's at home), or of the route? Happy to ride all day, as technical as possible really! Although my folks live there I have never ridden on the IOW so i'm open to suggestions!

Thanks 8)

This round the island loop is good, and can be started from Yarmouth:

I haven't done the whole loop in one go, but have done big chunks of it, either starting from Cowes or Fishbourne. It is always a tough ride, with more hills than you would expect! The full loop would be a good challenge to do in one day.

you could include a fair bit of off-road into too if you really want to beast yourself, from freshwater to st cathrines you could do a big chunk of the hills killer off road route. there is a full off-road round the isle route around somewhere but i've lost the bm. just reading the route looked more technical then actually riding it

edit; doh i see jason already found it, geez need more coffee :oops:
