Last chance for End2End entries

Thursday, 14 August 2014 00:00

Cyclists wanting to take part in the grueling Manx Telecom 'End2End' mountain bike challenge have just over a week left to enter.

The 46-mile race from the Point of Ayre to Cregneash is limited to 1,700 riders - as it stands just over 1,400 have signed up.

The event, on September 7th, has the reputation as one of the toughest mountain bike events in the UK.

You have until the August 23rd to register - you can do so by visiting www.manxe2e.org.

Paula Gelling is part of the organising team - she has this advice for any first time competitors:
