Stockport Clarion revisited the IOM International Cycling Week again in 2002. Though it was the first trip for most with the exception of the club stalwarts, we can report an excellent week was had by all, racing & non-racing (Duncan can vouch for both due to a cut ankle). We're going back next year from 20th July 2003 to 25th July 2003.

1st beer of many as we depart Liverpool Pier Head. 

Gorgeous weather awaited us upon arrival. Spot the car.

The number of spectators grew in size as the racing progressed !!

This is fat Duncan outsprinting fat Will (Wright) (68.5Kg) for 16th place in the Willaston Handicap.

The excellent weather continued to the joy of racing & drinking members, seen here outside the 'Glue Pot PH' during the Castletown Kermesse.

Castletown Kermesse racing action with Dunc & Will in the thick of it.

Riding high in a neon sky...

SCCC outside the Sulby Glen Hotel during the open 25.

Jack Milhench & Paul Butler work up a sweat on the way back to Douglas. 

Duncan in a familiar position due to an unexpected injury (cut ankle). Most riders would have carried on, but not Dunc.

Anything for a lie down.

Now where's my beer !!

The best Italian Restaurant in Douglas, Salut !!
