A local woman has been sharing her birthday with the Mountain course.

TT 2011 is the centenary of the Mountain Course. Hazel Dean yesterday reached a milestone of her own celebrating her 100th birthday.

As a special treat for the lifelong TT fan, her family arranged for her to go on a parade lap of the Mountain Course, on a trike.

3FM caught up her after a 37 and ¾ mile trip, she said it was a wonderful birthday surprise.
