    Gutted I couldn't complete the full island loop but one of my best rides so far!
    The 2 bits I genuinely Lol'd at were
    - shams uber taxi discount code comment
    - and Altafs unintentional pakistani accent
    😆

      That cafe stop saved me honesty, by the time we got back i was feeling good surprisingly. We probably did like 8k elevation in the first 40 miles

    I did the island loop a few years ago before the land slide on the road to Mogan.We went over the land slide from St Nicolas not the tunnel, Was with 2 other riders a lot stronger than me. Hard ride Chapeau

      Hi Paul, this ride was completed December 2021 just gone. We still get out when the weather allows and if all else fails we are on Zwift. Me personally I’m riding 5-6 times a week and we have an open to public regular official Zwift ride on Wednesday if you fancy joining?

      We must have been on the motorway for a good couple of hours at some times there were 4 lanes with connecting roads we had to keep an eye out for. Deffo needed a guide for that.
