Southsea Seafront Cycling Improvements

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008. Published in Architecture & The City, Bikes & Cycling by

Portsmouth Council is currently looking at ways to improve our cycle facilities and has provided the island with 4 options. You can either pick up a recent copy of Flagship or go straight to their online page and check the proposal options here

If you haven’t already you can then either send out the page to a freepost address or vote online here

We are also running a quick poll on the proposed options which is not in association with the council, but we could forward on:

I couldn’t find a photo from riding on the seafront. At least not a decent one, so here’s a photo from the IOW with Rory from sfgfc

  1. Hi – Vote for a shared space. Other cities in the UK offer this so should we.
    On Friday 5th Dec there is a stencil/spray fest happening at speakers corner, Southsea Seafront. Looking for local artists to be involved on the day and come down to spray a design – anything related to cycling.
    I have set up a Flickr group to see the kind of work to be featured.

    Portsmouth University Wall Art Society will be there too and the whole event will be documented.
    Look forward to seeing you there.

The 2nd Strong Island Ale – Dry Dock No. 1

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012. Published in Features, Food & Drink, Strong Island by

As you may know each year we run a home brew competition in February where the winning brew has the opportunity to be brewed by Irving & Co Brewing Co. and sold around the city in the summer. Last year’s brew, the Strong Island Hopper Ale, was hugely successful being one of Inving’s best selling ales and selling out so quickly it went through a second brew run. This year’s winning ale is Dry Dock No. 1, originally brewed by Lee Immins, went on sale in some of Portsmouth and Southsea’s pubs over the weekend.

We spoke to The Hole in The Wall in Southsea who said the new ale went down a storm with it being their best seller on Sunday and with almost two barrels empty by the end of the Bank Holiday weekend. Those guys at the Hole in The Wall and their regular ale drinkers know their stuff so for us this was amazing early news with the ale.

To officially launch Dry Dock No. 1 we are having a launch party with the lovely souls at The Belle Isle on Thursday evening. The ale will be on full flow, come down and try a pint or two. As well as being on sale all around the city the ale will also be available in Chichester’s Belle Isle too, so you can drink it away from home for the first time too.

The Isle Of Wight Randonnee 2012 – Team Strong Island

Monday, May 7th, 2012. Published in Bikes & Cycling, Features by

Just over a year ago, a group of Strong Islanders were sat on the Isle of Wight ferry on our way to the yearly Randonnee cycling event; 60 miles around the island spread across 5 checkpoints. Whilst on the crossing we couldn’t help but admire various enthusiasts and their custom team jerseys. Fast forward a year and it is my great pleasure to unveil the Strong Island cycling jersey. Made as a one off for the event, the jersey is our way of representing this city and all the values that come with it. Thanks to the combined designing efforts of Chris Ballingall and Tristan Savage, we were able to produce this clean, retro looking jersey that 11 of Southsea’s finest could wear to conquer the island’s endless hills. Well done chaps.
