It was a bit of a misty start from Douglas to get to Ramsey, the Riders Village for the ongoing 🚴‍♂️ tournament. All races today got the start and finish line at Mooragh Lake.

Although biking closely along the coastline, I could not see much of the sea until getting into Ramsey, where the sun took over. Fog. Interesting.

The action was already on at the time I arrived and from six to sixty plus the participants came in from the various races. 1000 riders from 30 countries were either “racing to win or riding to finish”. Nice slogan.

The return ride to my own start/finish line took me through some breathtaking countryside. Tired after 5 hours in the saddle but fully rewarded for the effort.

Fair winds…
