Many of you will know that we here at Strong Island and many of our friends are quite keen cyclists, nothing extreme, just good bike rides. Ben Mills from The Little Johnny Russells had suggested getting as many people together as possible for a Strong Island tour. Sterling idea!
After some quick route planning we come up with a short 5 mile ride. All based around Southsea and the Seafront. Starting at the Bridge Tavern opposite the Fish Market and finishing up along Albert Road. An easy, casual ride that is accessible to everyone and their various types of bikes.
This is strictly for fun and is open to anyone and everyone on any bicycle. We’re not out to make any points or be political and is by no means intended to be a Critical Mass or even a race. Just a good laugh on a Bank Holiday Sunday.
I’ve made a public Google Map of the initial route if you want to check it out and comment or suggest anything.
We’ve also added a poll button to try and ascertain interest. Who knows. If we can get big numbers we might be able to get some ‘Postive Local Cycling’ coverage.
Anyway. Stay posted and we’ll keep you updated on everything as this is still in the planning stages really. Oh, and for those who are interested ‘Fisherman Chic’ is the theme. Yep, you read that right, ‘Fisherman Chic’.

No time has been decided yet. Hopefully we’ll get some feedback from people and be able to come up with something that suits the majority.
