Isle of Wight Randonee
Originally uploaded by Adeeh2

My first official cycle event was the circuit of the Isle of Wight....and check that cheapo new clothing I've got.

We had a really great outing and the forecast rain held off until the last 45 minutes, and the weather was warm enough to relax in our shorts. Great hospitality from sandwich and team makers on route too. This was a lot further than my previous longest cycle ride of 30 miles, but with the breaks I managed OK.

Some stats for the record....Distance 67 miles, did the circuit clockwise from Yarmouth, 1100m of ascent, time 4.45 in the saddle, and about 7 hours in all, Average speed 14.0 mph.
