On 0500 ferry to the Isle Of Wight Randonnee. I'd decided to do it twice, so needed to get an early ferry in order to be back for the celebratory meal in the evening. Hence 0315 wake-up, 40 minute cycle to ferryport...
Strangely, there were only about 10 of us on the ferry. Including some very scantily clad young ladies returning from a night out in Portsmouth. According to the ferry chap in the on-board shop "you should have been on the 0300....!"
Got round - 227km - in 10 hours. Bonked a bit 2nd time up Military road...
