This year's Manx Telecom End to End Mountain Bike Challenge has been won by Matt Clinton from Balsall Common in the West Midlands.
It was a first win for the Mike Vaughan cycle club rider, who had a time of over three hours, but was a good two minutes ahead of second placed Edward Perry, a local Bikestyle rider.
Defending champion Elliot Baxter came in third.
Conditions were said to be tough - muddy with a lot of standing water and a strong headwind - leading to the slower than expected finishing times.
