Manx cycle week was great. I went two or three times in the early 90's.

Even with the roads closed we tended to ride on the left anyway. Force of habit I guess. I always remember the massive righthander coming down of the mountain which you could take at huge speed by cutting the corner right off.

I also remember bumping my front wheel into Norman Wisdom as I was negotiating one of the narrow gates from the pits to the trackside.

PMSL at that one!!!

didnt knwo how clued up u was on old cycling allan
the IOM as always been known as a cyclin mecca

you sould be familiair with the name curwen clague yeah
sorry but im pretty well into old cycling istory

to have had the likes of coppi visit your land is amazin in my eyes
ask some of the old bikies on the isle and see if they can remember.
i would love to talk to someone who had actually seen coppi ride his bianchi.

Fraid I'm not an expert on cycling history, though the name Curwen Clague is indeed well known to me. As is Tom Simpson. Think I need to read up a bit more about the old heroes. I'll ask around though, sure there must be some.

Always remember the TT course race, that was great, 3 laps of the course, closed roads made for an excellent road race. Shame the cycle week over here is dead now. :-( Many fond memories of it. Would have loved to ridden in it!!

At least we didn't have commentators like this in Cycleweek!!!..
