Getting to IOW round the island route from Ryde.

[Tumbleweed]

Someone said that finding the IOW marked route was difficult
coming out of Ryde ( The extra 15 mins to fishbourne may
make the diff between my breakfast staying down or not).
Looking at a map, it seems you head inland on the Sandown
road ...A3055...and then turn left (I'm going clockwise for
easiest route, as advised) onto the road hopefully
signposted cycle route and/or Bembridge. Is that right?

Good enough. Left is at 604909.

Alternatively pick up the B3330 and merge with the route
at 619911.

Signposts are plentiful and consist of an Isle of Wight
picture with a bike in it. White bike on blue island for
clockwise.

If it is the spot I think there is a petrol station on the
corner. The mass ride uses a control at Bembridge which is a
considerable detour to come back to Ryde from but if doing
it on your own probably better from Ryde, especially for
poor sailors! (I can talk, threw up on the big wheel with my
8 yr old after doing some awful twister ride last night at
the local funfair!)

Enjoy the ride ;-)
