An effort is being made to TRY and run the Senior tonight.
We still need marshals for tomorrow and for tonight

Tricky - for a number of reasons.

The first one that springs to mind is that all the marshals etc have been told there's nothing happening today and many may have decided to go out and do other things instead. They may not be contactable in order to arrange sufficient coverage and - dare I say it? - may not appreciate the change of arrangements at this late stage.

Secondly, I can just picture our friendly (mainly office,) workers in Douglas, (who are no doubt pleased that there'll be no disruption to their journeys home tonight,) hearing that the roads will, after all, be closing....
I can just imagine the response on certain websites etc and the "Moaning Line" will have a field day on Sunday. Let's not go there, please.....

I sincerely hope that the PTB are thinking of closing the roads after the main rush hour, to minimise this. I also hope that the weather allows this to happen, but who knows?

I would LOVE racing to go ahead & will personally stop what I'm doing & get out onto the course as soon as I get confirmation, but I fear that it won't be possible, so I'm resigned to the fact that I'll be marshalling tomorrow and not photographing today.

Having said that, it's the riders etc who get my biggest sympathy - you guys must go through H*ll with it being on, then off, then on again...

Have a good ride, whatever day it is, and come back safe.
