Isle of Wight 2018 // Monday 14th May - Save the date

Portsmouth Harbour right? Get there for 10am?

Can’t believe you guys scheduled this for when I was working.

I thought you'd quit riding?

Pretty much

Soooo... what time do we want to get into Portsmouth Harbour? I would like to buy my train ticket.

10.30 ish? Its Portsmouth and Southsea isn’t it?

Harbour. P&S is the one before

Ok, there's a train that leaves Waterloo at 9am and arrives ay 10:33am. Sound good?

What time coming back? 5 or 6?

Oh yeah - P&S is for the hover to Ryde.

Attached was the plan from last year... A teensy bit later would be good for me personally as need to drop off the lad...

Trouble is... fast Waterloo train dont seem to stop at CJ so we need to meet somewhere else

There is a direct but a bit slow (1.53) train at 9.10 from CJ

The 8.52 is faster (1.41) but we need to change at Woking

Much of a muchness

Ill meet you all at Woking

I may ride to Woking.

Nath - if you're getting the Waterloo train just aim to be at ferry terminal to get the 11:15 ferry crossing.

On way back we're normally on 17:47 or 18:10

But just book an open return.

Do we need to book bikes onboard? My hunch is no.

I didn't when i went recently

Cool, bought tickets, see you there at 11am.

I'm a no for this. Atlee needs to have his MMR vaccine as there's been an outbreak in his nursery.

Stupid fucking parents not vaccinating their kids because they believe MMR can give kids autism.

It's 2018 you tits.

The doctor who originally published the link was struck off and completely discredited. IMHO it's still feared because the second shot of MMR is given around the same age that a child begins to show signs of autism, between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 yo. George was behind in all forms of milestones, sitting up, walking, talking, etc. Once he'd had the jab the autism signs surfaced. It's just the timing, nothing else.

Olivia had her jabs as usual 👍🏼

Should we cycle a little further at the south western tip to check out The Needles?

I thought we did that one year?? You drop down to a massive car park and then need to hike about a mile to get over a ridge to see the needles... from memory

Yep. Not worth it.

And I will scratch my 👠

If you get there before just make sure you get the ferry ticket too as it sails 11:15
