🏝️🚌🚢 You asked for the Isle of Wight Chasers… and so we serve you your wonderful Isle of Wight (Green & Blue) day trip!
It promises a party bus, a party boat and a party Island in one single cycling EPIC! I’m proper excited about it.
We plan to join 3000 other cyclists on the famous Isle of Wight Randonee. You can find details here -https://www.cycleisland.co.uk/
💰The total cost for this epic day trip is £70 per head. Here’s what you get for that:
- Return party bus to/from London with bike transport £50 per head (this may reduce subject to numbers and negotiation, see below)
- Return party boat £20 per head
- No faff, bags of type 1 fun and epic memories.

Other (un-official) options
You can opt to meet us on the Isle for the start @11:00. This is completely at your own risk of missing the group.
Trains from London on Sunday 5th May make it virtually impossible to arrive before 11am, yet I know some of us are thinking of braving the 105km cycle to Portsmouth (this will cost £20 for the return Ferry, £20 train trip home and missing out on the party bus!).
Should you not want to wait to go home then we can organise for an earlier Ferry for you and you can travel back on your own arrangements.
