From Waitrose car park we will cycle our way up Well Road, joining onto York Avenue, we will take a right turn onto Adelaide Grove leading onto Victoria Grove approximately half way up we will take a right turn onto Beatrice Avenue. At the T-Junction we will make a right turn then immediately a left turn continuing on Beatrice Avenue passing the historic St Mildreds Church on the right. When we reach the end of Beatrice Avenue we will cross over Whippingham Road and continue along Alverstone Road, bearing right at the junction of Brocks Copse Road, this will take us to meet the Whippingham Road once more where we will cross over and carry on the old East Cowes Road, when reaching Racecourse Road, walking with our bikes we will stay on the right hand verge facing traffic (as it will take a long time to cross over the main road for such a short distance) we turn right onto Mill Lane which will take us down to the Island Harbour. The shared cycle path will take us along to Medina Quay in Newport. We then join National Cycle route 23 (Red Squirrel trail) to Cowes, there is currently a temporary closure in place for the latter part of the cycle route, but I’m assured it is open at weekends. At the end of the NCR 23 we will join Arctic Road, this will take us into Cowes where we can stop for something to drink/eat.

Great scenic route, some busy road, hills and shared cycle paths.

Some busy town roads, shared cycle pedestrian paths,

Decision will be taken on the evening, either Newport or Cowes

Helmets, water bottle and lights

We especially welcome newbies!
