This is very worrying - the Isle of Man is not the only place with a 450m road descent. Thanks to the TT if appears to have road surfaces beyond our dreams on this island. Effectively this is saying don't ride hills.Cowsham wrote: ↑23 Mar 2023, 11:06pm
If the cyclist was cycling to Ramsey via the A18 he could encounter other dangers. A tractor on a bend or leave the road altogether on that drop down to Ramsey, partly because of his speed or water on the rims from the thick fog, so there's more than just dangers from vehicles, the road itself is a challenge.
One thing to come out of this story for me is that I have finally noticed that hilly island you sometimes see from Galloway, and will be visiting ASAP. If the tar looks as good as it does on Streetview!
