Join NVCC on Sunday, July 20th for our beloved annual "It's not a flat Wight" adventure to the Isle of Wight. We've crafted three distinct routes—Mochaccino, Latte, and Cappuccino—each offering a unique way to experience the island's stunning landscapes and challenging elevations.

The Isle of Wight, crowned by Lonely Planet as the world's best cycling destination, sits just off England's South Coast. This cycling paradise offers everything from scenic road routes to family-friendly cycle tracks, making it perfect for our signature coffee-paced rides.

Our day begins at Southampton's Gloucester Square car park (SO14 2GJ, £11) where we'll prepare for the 08:00 Red Funnel ferry crossing as foot passengers. Upon reaching East Cowes, we'll take the Floating Bridge to Cowes to start our anticlockwise island adventure.

All routes share the same initial direction, with Latte and Cappuccino groups planning a refreshment stop in Ventnor. The Mochaccino group has the option of stopping at either Niton (37km into the route) or The Garlic Farm (51km)—though booking is recommended for the latter.

After exploring the island's varied terrain and coastal views, all groups will converge back at East Cowes for our return ferry to the mainland. Whether you're new to island cycling or a returning enthusiast, this promises to be an unforgettable day in the saddle.
