A very well put together race with a great atmosphere. Nice a flat with a slight uphill last km. Also easy access to toilets.

Good venue, friendly marshals, number pick- up easy, clean toilets, loads of parking, good warm- up areas, well laid out course.
However, totally inadequate number of drinks stations on such a hot day. You could have easily driven out drinks to the far side of the loop.
Cheap and irresponsible of the organisers.
