We had such a blast this year that we’re doing it again in 2027
Watching everything be readied for the upcoming TT Races but having the roads very much to ourselves by going early - we even got to do the Mountain with NO traffic this year as we were up there when they closed it off !!
Seriously it’s a great time to go
Day 1
We meet at Matlock Bath for breakfast, go through a quick brief and race (at my normal pace) up to Heysham to catch the SteamPacket ferry over to Douglas IOM !
We check in at our hotel near the seafront in Douglas Bay to settle in to our rooms. Twin rooms are booked but there may be some availability for single occupancy. Breakfast comes as part of the package.
You will be responsible for organising your Steam Packet ferry ticket - Heysham - Douglas return.
Presently there is an offer on for £154 return, I person, 1 m/cycle.
Day 2
I know you will all be rearing to ride the TT Circuit - all 37.73 miles of it. Every winding corner, long straight, ascent and descent - you will soak up, and maybe we’ll do it twice - with lunch at The Crosby - or one of the many hostelries that dot the circuit!
Tootle over to Peel on the west coast or visit the chasms and Spanish Head for some dramatic cliff photographs…
Day 3
We ride over to Jurby north side of the island and where the Isle of Man motor museum is housed. With over 500 exhibits you will surely find something that attracts your interest!!
Or you might enjoy a trip up Sneafell Mountain or Sea Kayaking up in Ramsey ! SO many things to do and try!
You must try the ‘Queenies’ freshly sourced and cooked to perfection, or one of the Manx real ales (or whisky)!
Day 4
I am hoping to contact a former TT racer to give us a brief and take us around the circuit on our bikes - to make sure we did it right
Watch this space !!
Day 5
A day to yourselves to do whatever you wish !
Day 6
Ferry back to Heysham and ride to original start point of Matlock Bath.
No - it’s NOT the TT week, or the Practice week because they are over-priced and it’s complicated getting ferry tickets … BUT the racing stars will be following in YOUR tyre marks !!
