Starting point

PO37 7AR

Shanklin Railway Station car park (PO37 7AR)

This ride starts and finishes at Shanklin Railway Station car park (PO37 7AR). Please note, that parking charges apply if arriving at the start point by car. This is a varied route which follows cycle tracks where possible (some of which are shared pedestrian / cycle tracks), residential roads and some sections on busier roads. There are some hills, a couple of which are short and steep but we will tackle these in a very steady manner, and it's OK to walk up with our bikes, if preferred - rest assured, no one will be left behind. The ride is intended to coincide with the Sandown Hullabaloo. It is hoped that the timings of the ride may offer the option to view the carnival procession at midday and subsequent 'Soap Box Challenge', should ride participants wish. However, there will be some scope to amend the timing of the return cycle ride, subject to group agreement or at the Ride Leader's discretion. However, it is anticipated that the ride will return and finish at Shanklin Station by approximately 15:30 (3.30pm) latest. Please bring a cycle lock to secure your cycle and some money for refreshments. Look foward to welcoming you on the ride, and rest assured, no one will be left behind. Please arrive at Shanklin Railway Station for 10:45 to complete pre-ride checks, for a 11:00 start on the ride.
