This final episode takes us further around the island to our first night's accommodation at The Wight Mouse Inn but not before we'd ridden a part of the Isle Of Wight Road race circuit (previously known as the Dimond Races circuit). This was scheduled to take place this year and be the first professional road race ever held on the Isle of Wight following a 12.4 mile circuit. Sadly, politics got in the way and it has been pushed back to 2023.
The glorious weather we'd experienced on the whole tour so far came to an end on the final day. The cloud came over and all the forecasts predicted torrential rain on our last day. Happily it didn't actually materialise but instead, I somehow picked up an extremely virulent stomach bug or virus which forced us to plan a route within easy access to toilets! As if that wasn't bad enough, I couldn't enjoy any food or Beer O'Clock!
We had planned to ride down to the Needles viewpoint but a 15 minute walk off the bike with a dodgy stomach was deemed too high risk. So we passed o that and planned a route to visit Carisbrooke Castle and on the way dropped in on the local Triumph dealership - "Dave Death Motorcycles" - a name we couldn't resist checking out! After the castle and still avoiding the forecasted torrential rain, we called in at the Wight Military and heritage Museum (mainly becauseI knew they would have a toilet!) before our final stop at The Fishbourne Inn and a rather muted evening. The next morning after a very short ride to the ferry, it was really nice to bump into a couple who follow our channel Graham and Sam two up on a Tiger 850 Sport!
And so it was the end of another great little tour. If you enjoyed watching please give us a thumbs up and add a comment too!
