About the Event

Starting at 10:00 AM from scenic Appley Park in Ryde, this well-established event offers an "undulating throughout" course that weaves through quiet country lanes, past historic villages like St. Helens, and along tranquil off-road gravel tracks, providing a true taste of the island's beauty.
