Now that Guernsey and the Isle of Man have opened up an air bridge, a few of us are looking at a mtb trip over.

Can anyone give me any advice in terms of the best bike friendly places to stay, any routes and if anywhere does decent bike hire. just deciding whether to bring our own bikes or not.

I picked up a leaflet last time I was over there with some MTB routes on, it is probably available online.

It was in my van for ages but I think I have thrown it out.

Thanks eskay I have found manxmtb website which has some routes on it might send their facebook group a message.

It looks a pretty good destination and never crossed my mind before other than the endtoend.

This chap on instagram is on the iom and always out on his mtb, never seems short of variety in his rides. He might be on here actually, not sure where I followed him from.
Anyway maybe drop him a message for some decent gpxs.
