Thank You To Our Sponsors
Welcome to the home of the Isle of Man cycling team.
We have a great history in producing cycling talent from our small island.
Riders from over the years have gone on to Commonwealth success right up to the ultimate in grand tour success.
It is our goal to provide a good platform for riders to learn through, and develop to further their careers in cycling.
We have riders moving onto the Great Britain academy, as well as riders basing themselves off island to see how far their talent will bring them.
The Commonwealth games in Glasgow is our long term goal, with two Island games in the build up. This year being the Isle of Wight, and 2013 in Bermuda.

Congratulations to everyone who took part and completed a very tough but beautiful course last Sunday.
Many thanks for your interest and enthusiasm in this new challenge. We were overwhelmed with the entry numbers for a new event but it has certainly confirmed our belief that there’s a place for this kind of event on the calendar.
As you can imagine it was a big team effort to organise but getting the positive feedback that we’ve had so far, and the smile on participant’s faces at the end made all the hard work worthwhile. Obviously the weather played its part in making the event a success and I don’t think we can take credit for that!
Your feedback is essential if we are to make this event really special. We already have ideas on how to make the event a better experience for you the riders and we will be taking note of all the positive and negative comments to help us achieve that. It won’t be possible to personally reply to all the feedback but be assured it will be taken note of.
We will be looking to make an announcement on a future date (not just this event but the possibility of a series of sportive style events next year) before Christmas. If you would like to be the first to hear about it please use the following links:

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the Isle of Man National Cycling Team sponsors Microgaming for their support in bringing this event to you.
See you on the road!
