Bike Friendly B&B I.O.W
 

Can any members recommend a biker friendly B&B on the IOW
I might pop over this weekend.
thanks ian.

not a B & B - but try the 2 seafront hotels in Sandown, a bit worn, but one has huge garage.

By the way - the Annual Gert Gallybagger rally is on over this w/end at Atherfield point, so there will be a fair few bikes going on the ferries from now onwards(we've had to give it a miss:( cos of cadwell)
You'll find anywhere on the south of the island pretty well booked up by now.

also, be warned - there are a VERY strong contingent of Hants finest motorcycle boys in blue who go over to the island on the Sunday, as its the 'round Wight' cycle race.
The world & its granny/kids/aunties & uncles are frantically peddalling all along the coastal roads - take lots of care on the old military road - not a good time to see what your speeds are like;)
Plod dont take kindly to having their bank hol wiped out by policing this - and they have never been tolerant of bikers in the years we have gone over for the w/end (ask AK - it cost him lots 2 years ago!)

Thanks CK
OOPS wrong weekend then I take it.
Ill think its a day trip then :lol:

Just avoid the perimeter on the Sunday - use the lovely roads across the middle nr Brightstone forest.

If you do stay over, you wont be able to get in to the rally now - tickets sold out in Feb - but worth stopping in at the Wight Mouse Pub (Chale) for lots of friendly biker faces.
Or even parking at the side of the road at Atherfield Point on the Sat nite to hear the bands in the marquee, as is only 800 yds from the road:D
