One idea which I am planning on doing this year is to get the ferry with my bike from Lymington to Yarmouth on the Isle of Weight. It looks like its only about £20 return ferry trip for you and your bike and it looks like there's some great cycling to be had on the Isle of Weight on or off road with plenty to see.

Another idea for you is Cornwall, I stayed near Portreath last year and done the coast to coast ride which go's from Portreath to Devoran which is 11 miles each way. This part of cornwall is full of the old mining trails which is great for cycling and I done many cycling trips why I was that way. Not so far into cornwall you have the camel trail which goes from Bodmin to Padstow, it is 30 miles in total but you can get on or off at various points.

Hope there's a few ideas for you.

I am planning on taking my bike on the ferry from Lymington to Yarmouth on the Isle of Weight this year as I want to do the Chalk Ridge Extreme trail. I would like to know what the set up is regarding putting your bike on the ferry, I know you have to leave your bike and go to the deck but how do you secure your bike and is there bike stands to put your bike in or do you just lean your bike up against the side of the boat. If you have to just lean your bike against the side how do you secure it to stop it falling over or getting scratched.

Any advice would be appreciated as I don't want to find my bike scratched to pieces when I get to the other side.
