| Across the island from coast to coast using official cycle routes. Taking the Stenbury Trail from Ventnor, then Yar River Trail and Worsley Trail in the centre. Finally Tennyson Trail along the top of the downs to The Battery at The Needles. Good surfaces, as using official cycle routes, 95% off road, lots of small hills and great views down to The Needles. | |

| Wow the scenery takes your breath away. We arrived at the corner of ocean view road and gills cliff opposite a great little chippy called the Ocean View, where we saw many bikes had stopped for a quick snack. We joined them sat for a bit, ate our chips and down gills cliff road and along the coastal roads it just gets better and better please go down military road the views and sights are fantastic | ||

| I don't know whether this is an old description, and the conditions have since changed, but as of summer 2015 the paths indicated here are NOT suitable for cycling. The first 5 miles were very narrow bridal paths, mostly overgrown with brambles. The "few small hills" mentioned in the comments are very steep. Completing this in the 2 hours it recommends would require an average speed of 10 miles per hour, which is laughable. I made it 5 miles in nearly 2 hours before heading back. | ||
