  • With no route planned before getting on the ferry at Portsmouth, can we rely on Komoot to come up with the goods and plan us an adventure of the highest quality taking in the island's best bits?

    Funny timing. I was bikepacking on the Isle of Wight when you posted this video. My route to the Needles looked pretty similar to yours too. There's a lot of great riding over there, I want to go back.

    James has the bike I have on order. Can't wait for mine 😀. One thing - it has an 11-42 cassette but he says 11-34 @ 5:15.

    You folks need to get down in the drops when riding down hill on gravel bikes. You get much more control and more secure grip on the bars. And still allowing good control of the brakes

    So he's just giving us a green light to make Nigel Thornberry jokes right? Smashing

    Looks like fun: but have to ask why so much gear if you're not camping or stopping anywhere?

    • @cyclingweekly

      The weather that day had two yellow warnings on the island (there was flooding happening not far away in the UK) and was predicted to be absolutely horrible. Fortunately we lucked out, but on this occasion we packed for all conditions.

    I though the idea of Bike packing was to go and camp out somewhere 🤔

      This adventure we wanted to demonstrate how anyone can have an off-road experience contained in a day, thus the multiple modes of transport to get to somewhere remote. You can see more camping in our bikepacking video from last year along the Trans Cambrian Way th-cam.com/video/JVTf1hcACms/w-d-xo.html

    one looks at the map and thinks, wow, what a great ride, in distance, but, this is England, so the distance of 36 miles is so small, as the island itself!!!! The picture of the island can misled you!!!! Therefore, it looks a very nice place to ride the bikes!!!!

    Nice to see you guys on the IOW. Shame you took the military road instead of the Tennyson trail, what the bikes are made for. The TT is just fantastic, Newport to Freshwater all off road with some breath taking views.

    You'd have a ton more fun if you used a mountain bike.

    I'd have a problem with a trail named after Ho Chi Minh. Would they name one after Fidel Castro, or Mao Zedong?
