Road Cycling Blog: Isle Of Wight Randonnee 2019
This is a re-post of the ride I did on the Isle of Wight Randonnee in 2019.
Unfortunately, this year due to the current world events the 2020 edition of the IOW Randonne was cancelled.
All in all, it was a great day out on the bike. Thousands of cyclists turned up and braved the cold and the wind to ride this fantastic event. Hopefully next year the ride will go ahead.

BZ. I'm new to this and just managing 25 miles at the mo. Love your videos and big respect for that effort. Just found your channel and am hooked :) Stay well.

I know I’m a bit behind the times in watching this now but never mind! Looks like an excellent event. I’d like to do that someday - seems like it’s relatively relaxed and certainly well-organized 🤩. Thanks for sharing.

Sadly, it’s already been cancelled for this year.

@richardharris8538 4 года назад

Thanks, Leonard. That took me back nearly sixty years. We rode from Bournemouth over to the IOW, then did our club's annual round the island ride, then home. We stopped at a pub for beer and sandwiches. The landlord asked me if I was eighteen. I wasn't quite, but close enough, so I lied. Well, I had to have a pint or two.

@jollygoodvelo 4 года назад

You deserved it after that epic ride.

@richardharris8538 4 года назад

@@jollygoodvelo I doubt that I stopped at just one. In those days I recall a pint of bitter cost one shilling, and scrumpy was 10d. (12d or pence made one shilling, and twenty shillings made one pound, to the utter confusion of visitors from other countries. And four farthings made a penny.)

hey Leonard, I had to come back and revisit this bicycle diaries episode again- great film, inspired me to just sign up for the 2022 event on my hardtail and flats :) hehe I better get some decent training rides in before then - cheers :)

@jollygoodvelo 2 года назад

It’s a tough ride and no mistaking. Good luck with it. I’ll probably sign up too but I will have to check the dates of when I am in Italy.

@varietylife6847 4 года назад

I have a lot of fun watching your riding, nice atmosphere with friends, relaxing( may be not while climbing:)), beautiful military rode and I really like the way you speak or explain on your video, not too fast, clear sometimes funny.👍Thank you.

@monty2078 4 года назад

Hi Leonard, thank you, I really enjoyed this. Weather here is like your ride last year. We are breaking all the records for cold in May. We are still going down below zero at night and we are having snow flurries today when normally it would be 15 degrees.. Its wreeking havoc on my wife's gardens. Yesterday I did get out for a short ride of 32k , however the 1st 12k had 350 meters of climbing, so I warmed up going up; it was 5 degrees at top. I completed the 1st 16 k and then frooze Coming back. Anyway thanks again, great video.

@jollygoodvelo 4 года назад

Blimey, snow. I’m sat here in the sunshine.

@webbsamples 4 года назад

Excellent re-post Leonard! You looked rock solid even at 82.5 km! I have begun cycling again and also lifting weights. There was a gravel race across the county on May 2, and I am thinking about entering next year. They offer 50k, 100k and 100 mile events. Thanks for your RU-vid channel. It is by far my favorite!

@Paul_C 4 года назад

I can't get used why you call 50km, 50k. Guess metric still isn't in the DNA.

Hi Leonard, I am new to your channel and enjoying it enormously. Great stories, cool tips, great video, nice music to it, the list is endless. I love biking and your channel has made me think about taking it to the next level. Keep it up, the whole thing is just a rare beauty and very inspirational!

@saveriodipoce2201 4 года назад

Hi Leonardo. Nice boat ride and a lot of riders in different kind of bikes.They could supply chips/sensors instead of getting stamped.Very nice ride,good weather,the road ocean view was great, Ciao from partial lock down Italy.

@jollygoodvelo 4 года назад

Saverio Di Poce I think that because this is a Randonnee, they aren’t too interested in timings. It’s all about making it round, hence the cards and stamps. Plus everything on the Isle of Wight is about 100 years behind the mainland.

@saveriodipoce2201 4 года назад

@@jollygoodvelo The Country side with the ocean view is great. I bet you have some fine fish restaurants with ocean view.I can just imagine eating some fresh fish after 100 km ride seating in an area with ocean view. What more would anyone want?

Trek looks nice

@jimlee3674 4 года назад

110 km is a Brevet Populaire, NOT a Randonee. When I saw the title of this vid, I thought "how can the organiser plan a 200 km route round the IoW?" When Audax UK's ban is lifted (next year), have a go at the New Forest Excursion from Lymington.

@paulyflyer8154 4 года назад

I love the colour of your Trek. It's so sad watching things like this realising how much the world has changed in a few months. Makes me wonder if events like this will ever happen again in the new world order especially when we have to take the "vaccine". Your friend Paul seems a nice guy too. Makes the whole cycling experience so much better when you have great company doesn't it?

Hello Leo! Your videos are great! I have a question. Why you bought Cannondale bike? You already have a great bike as Trek!!! Why you prefer to have to very good bikes and not only one like Trek or Cannondale?
