Right guys how about a plumz weekend away on some great trails, its based on a good campsite, beer and bands available Friday and sat night, silly games and loads for all the family to do if you bring er indoors thats not cycling related.
Its a really good weekend and you'll be impressed how good the trails are, they do special deals on the ferry which is a really slick operation and no hassle, 4 in a vehicle is the best way to go.
It really is a great way to spend May bank holiday or longer, a superb mini holiday with biking

The Wight Diamond Festival
23-26th May 2008
Summer kicks off with the Wight Diamond Festival! First run in 1996, the Wight Diamond has established itself as 'don't miss' event for hundreds of bikers. It's unique combination of superb riding, events to suit everyone, on site camping, catering, bar and entertainment have earned it a reputation as the best mountain bikers party on the calendar!
Full details of 2008's event are being worked on right now, but here's a taster of what you can expect;
A true MTB Festival with a choice of great events!
The weekends events centre on the two day Wight Diamond Challenge navigator race, which takes place over Saturday and Sunday. This is the ultimate Navigator event using the whole Island as it’s course. But if two days of all out competition sounds a little too serious for you, enter the Wight Diamond Lite instead - the checkpoints are pubs and cafés and prizes will be awarded for ‘entering into the spirit of the event’!
If navigating isn't your thing and you'd rather just ride, we're putting together a choice of marked out 40k or 60k Wight Trail Enduros to test your legs on Saturday and Sunday without worrying about the map.
