So I’ve realised I have some holiday to use up at work and was thinking of doing a credit card bikepacking tour around the island in early November.
Any tips on must do trails/ routes to link up?
As a basis I’m taking the ‘the big long loop’ route off trailforks and adapting it to suit.
Will be on my full suss so can be fairly technical.
Prefer ‘natural’ trails, rather than the purpose built stuff although trails similar to Arrasey E2E, Otters Pocket, Glen Rushden Singletrack would be fine.
What’s the deal with riding cheeky, is it similar to England that it is frowned upon, but generally alright if you stick to rule 1?
Any areas that I should really avoid due to conflict, prohibitation?
Any other tips on things to see/ do on my way around the island?
I’ve had the Isle of Man on my radar for a bit, so looking forward to this
