How to watch a race!

Can you guess what these people are doing?
One of the most famous places to watch races in the IOM is at Ballaugh Bridge.  The racers have to go over a bump, which sends them flying in the air for a few seconds!  Exciting to watch.  So many people want to see it, that the crowds are huge!  If you get there too late, your only hope is to climb a ladder.
This is what it looks like.

Our next stop was the Sulby Hotel to watch the end of the race.
Race over, time for a pint with our new friend, Fred, from Manchester.
Wish we could have found something better for dinner, but the menus are limited during TT week.  We had to settle for a hamburger!
