Last chance for those who missed initial deadline
Cyclists who missed the deadline to enter Cyclefest's Gran Fondo 2019 will have another chance to sign up.
The event, which takes place on Sunday, is opening a 48-hour late entry window from midnight tonight due to demand.
This year's format offers four routes of varying distance and difficulty, from a flat Minisculo Fondo around Mooragh Park to the 85-mile Gran Fondo.
Director of Cyclefest Paul Phillips says the Manx roads provide a test for cyclists of all abilities:
