On Saturday I decided to take my MTB over on the ferry to the Isle of
Wight, but I wasn't ready for so many hills. Deviously short incredibly
steep ones to blatantly long drawn out ones with very few meaningful
descents in between.
Route was essentially Cowes, Yarmouth, The Needles, Freshwater Bay,
Calbourne, Newport and back to Cowes (approx. 40 miles on the computer).
I found it hard going on an MTB with knobbly tyres and failed fork
lockout, could have been worse though as I managed to break my only tyre
lever tonight whilst swapping the tyres for slicker ones (Continental
TravelCONTACT 26*1.75").
