02.07.2024: The first new flag for this ride for at least a couple of years! Dear flagger: just send me a Strava DM and we'll ride together next time I'm on the Isle of Wight ;)

W/ slow puncture. Raining most of the morning so mid-day start to catch an NW-erly. Drizzle warm-up to Horringford, finally an all out effort up Newchurch shute - first ever, never realised the momentum that can be carried into the hill, tractor descending is the only half-threat that never materialises, felt quick, felt like a sprint - not my domain, out to East Cowes rain all but stopped, lights green at H&H, feel the headwind before Whippingham, descend to the chain ferry for York Ave, not so familiar with hard efforts on this hill, play it safe then try to pile it on as it flattens, back down for Old Rd, traffic makes the start tricky, either I'm flagging or my tyres are going soft, definitely feels like soft tyres as I finish Old Rd, stop to give a squeeze and it's bad news - enough to get home on but gonna be close, Brocks Copse gets a reprieve, later find out I'm spotted by Josh A, nursing the front tyre home, getting softer but not too quickly, downs road it is, home: grateful to make it but only half satisfied with the session.
