Winter Riding

Winter doesn't mean that you should stop riding, so we've put together a sportive that will light up your imagination, fill you with Christmas cheers, and keep you riding deep into the full grip of winter. With a short ferry ride from the mainland, mince pies, indoor feed stations, and hot drinks, this is an end of season must!’.

So put away your turbo trainers, delay in the madness of the Christmas shopping and head out to the Isle of Wight for an enchanting festive sportive. “The Wight Winter” consists of 2 shorter route options to reflect the time of year.

The event will start and finish from just outside Yarmouth ferry terminal, and riding couldn’t be any easier. There is a ferry ticketed option, which includes entry, return ferry crossing and free parking on the Lymington side of the ferry. For those already on the Island, we have a non-ferry ticked option, which includes entry to the event and limited parking in Yarmouth.

The route: From Yarmouth you’ll be heading in an anticlockwise direction towards the colourful cliffs of Alum bay and the Needles, before making your way south. Here you’ll pick up the military road with its dramatic Cliff side views, you’ll make your way up 2 of the biggest climbs on the route……oozing breathtaking views over the English Channel.

After completing the south of the island, you’ll be head North West straight through the centre of the picturesque island with its rolling hills, and in some places sea views on both sides!

With 2 festive feed stations on route, you’ll have the to top up on energy levels and get into the Christmas spirit with Mince pies and hot drinks (sorry no mulled wine!!)

Warning – limited spaces available due to ferry restrictions, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Online pre-entry

Online pre-entry is the easiest way of entering and saves £3.00 per person vs. entering on the day. Online pre-entry will save you time on the day of the event allowing you to simply pick up your registration pack from the 'Pre entered collection point' and avoid having to queue up. Please note: if a event reaches its capacity we will have to close the event to riders wanting to enter on the day. It is therefore best to pre enter online to avoid disappointment!

On the day entry

On the day entries are available at all our events as long as the event has not sold out prior to the event day. On the day entries are subject to an additional £3.00 per person surcharge. Payment can be made with cash or cheque. You can fill out an entry form when you arrive at the event. One entry form must be completed per person. Wiggle Customers will not be able to receive any loyalty discounts on the day.

Awards

Although all our rides are non competitive events (i.e. not races), most people still like to know how well they've done. With this in mind we will time each participants ride. When you complete your ride your time will be calculated and these timings, along with the timing Award you achieved, will be displayed on the Website. Each rider will receive a timing award of either; bronze, silver or gold, depending on their average speed. Of course, some riders aren't bothered about all these awards and just cycle for the experience and stunning scenery.
