I'm planning to park at Lymington then ferry and ride to SSUK on the Isle of Wight. Does anyone know if there's anywhere I could park my car for a long weekend (obviously free)......

There's free on-road parking bottom of East Hill which I've used for day ride trips to the island before. Only a few spaces though. Most stuff close by town side of the ferry is permit.

One of the estates roads off Marsh Lane might be ok or there's often cars parked just up Undershore but it's a bit remote up a lane under trees.

Just don't use the hospital or ferry CP's!

Puts you at the wrong end of the island for ssuk compared to Portsmouth, but could make a nice ride of it

Yarmouth to freshwater cycletrack, Tennyson trail to Newport, Newport to sandown cycletrack

If you're riding to SSUK rather than bringing the car then the Portsmouth to Ryde catamaran is the nearest crossing. You can take your bike on the train to Sandown that way too.
Although now I've introduced the issue of where to park in Portsmouth! You could park at a Station (or nearby) outside of Portsmouth and get the train to Portsmouth Harbour then get the cat.

Or you could get a lift with me and Ashley straight to the campsite, and leave your car on my drive. We're going over Thursday evening  to help Keith set up though.

Your choice... 😁
