We, the bike and me, took the first departure at 9:50am BST on the Steam Railway from Douglas to Port Erin. This line operates with its original equipment (steam locomotives and coaches) since 1874! Next week is big 150 year Transport Festival on the island. It‘s all about the heritage railways, their specific tasks – very well maintained and still operational.

The 🚴‍♂️ ride back from Port Erin to Douglas took me through some nice villages and landscape.

Next two days will be a different biking agenda: UCI Grand Fondo – Isle of Man!

Fair winds…
