Ride Out for The Leprosy Mission

Saturday 14 July 2012
2.15am
Our annual sponsored cycle ride around the famous TT Course on the Isle of Man. This is for those who like a challenge and don't mind missing sleep! We sail on the overnight ferry from Heysham arriving in Douglas at 06.00. After a lovely warm up ride around Port Soderick and Marine Drive we will fuel up with breakfast at The Caff before making our way to the Grandstand for an 09.00 start. The course is 38 miles and the scenery is breathtaking - as are some of the hills! Don't worry, it's not a race, walking is permitted - and we;ve plenty of time to do it. A relax in Onchan Park with its many attractions is an option after the ride - as is Fish and chips at Port Jack! We sail back at 20.00.
The ferry fare is £35 - payable on booking. Go on - I'm 64 this time - and I'm going to do it - I'm sure you can!.
