Isle of Man

This spring 2024 Andy S, Mike, Sarah and I will cycle around the Isle of Man, a cycling journey of 94 miles.

As the birthplace of two of the greatest cyclists of the modern generation, Mark Cavendish and Peter Kennaugh, the Isle of Man is the perfect location for cycling. Here we will follow in the tracks of an Olympic gold medallist and Tour de France stage winner, taking in the varied colourful countryside, spectacular coastal views and pretty glen valleys along the way.

The Isle of Man has miles and miles of quiet lanes. We will cycle past an almost endless variety of historical attractions, ranging from Viking settlements to the Island’s Victorian steam trains and electric trams.

In Ramsey, in the north of the Island, a relaxing ride can be enjoyed. Set against the backdrop of the Manx hills, the gentle landscape of the northern plain contrasts greatly with the rest of the Island.

Something a little more challenging, the roads around Port Erin provide the magnificent coastal scenery of the Island’s southwest, culminating in The Sound, with its views over to the Calf of Man. This is also a great place for spotting seabirds and Grey Seals.

Finally, we will finish along the coastal road of Marine Drive to provide a stunning end to the tour.
