Porchfield Circular

A pleasant Autumnal amble through the North-Western part of the Island, passing through the Gurnard Lock, Gurnard, Cowes, where we will pick up the cycle track back towards Newport, before turning back West towards our start point of Porchfield, passing the outskirts of Parkhurst Forest
E-bikes most welcome.

A pleasant ride, incorporating a few hills, but lots of flat sections too! Pretty countryside; hopefully a chance to see the Spring flowers in bloom, plus a lovely coastal section along from Gurnard to Cowes. We will pick up the Cowes to Newport Cycle path, and take this along to Vestas, where we will then come off and take a route back skirting Parkhurst Forest.

We will be riding on quiet country roads, and part of the Red Squirrel Cycle Path. This ride is suitable for all types of bikes.

At this point in time, I am planning a coffe stop off in Cowes; exact location tbc.

Please ensure that your bike is in good working order. You MUST wear a helmet. Please wear suitable clothing, noting that April can often bring heavy rain showers, and strong head winds.

First-timers welcome!
