ISLE OF MAN TRIP 2026

 Hi everyone 

REMINDER 
It’s been a splendid response so far for the upcoming KDCS trip to the IOM during the last week in April.
 With  17 signed up to go and an almost equal split of historic MTB’S and e-MTB’s for once…. and a few road tourers thrown in: it should be fun and plenty to do for all.
The hotel is currently holding opening up for  any other public  bookings until next week, so we have the choice and availability of rooms until then.
If you are still thinking about it, please do  try and make a decision in the next few days - it’s not compulsory of course , but it would be good to get it all sorted in the next week!
As usual any queries, please ask—- this is the original e mail : 

THE ISLE OF MAN TRIP 2026 IS ON!.... 

With 2 previous successful trips to the IOM under our belts, this early season mini break has become quite a feature in the KDCS calendar- and with the guest house  where we offering to hold the price for the 3rd year running--it really is a great value stay. And with resident KDCS member Graham Hughes on stand by again  as our guide and advisor, there are a lot of things to do…again…

Last year, our Thursday MTB group was joined by the wider KDCS gang, and it was super successful, judging by the feedback- to the extent that I’m now being asked  by KDCS folk will we be going in 2026 ?

Well…the answer is  yes ! It is the intention to make this trip an annual event perhaps?

SO…..

DATE: Monday 27th April to Friday 1st May 2026

WHERE: Edelweiss Guest House

WHO WILL IT INTEREST?: Everyone….we had 21 riders last year- a good mix of e-MTB, historic MTB, road and gravel bikers, plus  walkers etc..

WHAT TO DO NEXT: I will be handling all the bookings this year, to make it easier for the hotel.

If you want to come along please choose a room from the list below and tell me by e mailing me direct -  philmorgan51@gmail.com

….( if you just press the Reply button the e mail will come back to me ). I will also be going myself, even though I did say I might not…

  • Please don’t contact the hotel direct…the owner is away until after the New Year and operating with a skeleton staff…you won’t be offered the same prices…please contact me!
  • Please do stay at our selected  guest house – it supports them when they have continued to offer such a great deal…and they have held the whole hotel back for us at this stage- plus its very social!
  • There is no need to do nothing else until  I  contact you  re payment and details like ferry bookings etc….which will be in the NewYear….
