Newport 

Newport is the largest town on the Island, it favours the residents rather than the tourism element due to the type of shops you will find.  Being in the centre of the Island, Newport acts as the hub and connects you to other parts of the Island easily.

Route 3 - Cowes

A nice steady route that utilises another old railway line that used to run down the side of the River Medina.  The route uses both side of the river via Newport and cross back via the Cowes to East Cowes chain ferry.  The East Cowes side of the route is mainly on road (Mainly quieter roads) and has a few steady inclines and declines too.  The Cowes side of the route is almost flat and well surfaced for cycling.
