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:
