Entry for the annual Appleby Sportive rides is now open via the British Cycling website: www.britishcycling.org.uk. Just search the events section using the key word “Appleby”

The event consists of a choice of 4 courses; 38Km, 72Km, 100km and 118Km, with all starting and finishing at the Ramsey Rugby Club in the Mooragh Park, Ramsey. The 32Km is a flat route around the Northern Plains and is suitable for all abilities. The 72, 100 & 118Km routes have 1, 2 & 3 major climbs respectively; Druidale, Slieau Whallian & the Sloc.

Manx Timing Solutions will be providing the event timing and each participant will be logged at the start, at checkpoints along the way and again at the finish. This will provide entrants with their times for each section and allow for comfort breaks & regroupings at each checkpoint. It also means that participants may choose which course they wish to complete on the day as the timing system will identify the course option ridden from the number of checkpoints the rider has dibbed at.

Any enquiries to Richard Fletcher on 818008.

The Support Race is open to local riders aged 16 and over. It will be a scratch, massed start event over 1-lap of the TT Course on fully closed roads, starting approximately 30-minutes behind the International Men’s & Women’s events.

The event is being held under British Cycling (BC) rules, although non-BC Licence  holders may still enter the Support race as a non-Member and then buy a £10 Day Licence when they sign-on before the Start.

Entries are via the BC website at www.britishcycling.org.uk. All enquiries to Richard Fletcher on 818008.

Dear All

The Organisers are busy behind the scenes trying to get everything prepared for the both the Manx International and the Sleepwell Youth Tour which this year has been particularly challenging in terms of the logistics required to put the races on in a safe way for the riders.

We are, as ever going to need a lot of marshals to assist us.  We would therefore be extremely grateful if you could possibly spare some time to assist.

The Manx International is on Sunday 10th April – from 1.30pm

For the Sleepwell Youth Tour, the stages required are as follows:

Saturday 30th April 2016 Peel (8am – 12:30) 28 required

Saturday 30th April 2016 Ellerslie (13:15 – 17:30) 16 required

Sunday 1st May 2016 Bride (8am – 12:30) 30 required

We are aware that there have been a lot of requests for help for the various events being held this year, these requests however really are essential to organisers being able to put on safe racing on the Isle of Man.  This is an opportunity for you to give something back to the sport without sacrificing your own racing!!

If you are able to help, please email:

Manx International: manxinternational@manx.net
