Big entry for around Island sportive
Around 400 cyclists are expected to take part in today's Lighthouses Challenge (10 July).
The Grand Depart is from the Grandstand at 8am.
Competitors will be under police escort down Bray Hill, along Peel Road and South Quay until they get to Marine Drive.
Organiser Steve Shimmin says the origins of the sportive event go back to another era in Manx cycling:
Reopening of Martin Ward delayed following further safety checks
Further environmental concerns identified during checks, extending temporary closure beyond initial four-week estimate
Major reservoir projects completed on time and on budget
Manx Utilities gives update on Cringle and Clypse projects
Law Society responds to 'anecdotal' reports of conveyancing log-jam
Reported increase in local demand and rise in people off-Island seeking properties
Repair scheme an 'antidote to throwaway culture'
ECAS launches initiative to upcycle unwanted items
