 3. Dress for summer… and surprises
Layers are still your friend\u2014this is the Isle of Man! Pack sunnies and suncream, but maybe keep a light rain jacket handy too (just in case \ud83c\udf26\ufe0f).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cool drink and a snack stop can turn a short ride into a summer highlight. Ice cream break? Absolutely encouraged. \ud83c\udf66\ud83d\udeb4<\/p>\n\n\n\n
