Evel Knievel fundraiser planned for TT

Bike fans dressed as an American 70s stunt hero have unveiled a huge fundraising event to take place during TT 2020.

UK bikers have been dressing as Evel Knievel for rideouts in England, Scotland and Wales to raise cash for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Now, they've announced they'll be doing laps of the course for 36 hours during 2020's festival - and are hoping competitors, locals and visitors will join them.

Those taking part will ride the 37 3/4 mile circuit in pairs.

Looking ahead to 2020 & RIDE Manx. A fund raise format of constant 'Manx Knievel' laps over 36hrs from 6am Sat to 6pm Sun. Entrants ride a 37.5mile circuit in pairs, fresh pair swap each lap. At set times all entrants & guest riders take a lap. How many Caped Manx laps in 36hrs? pic.twitter.com/X5B5kRyygc
