This was fun, but there was a slight bit of confusion at one point in the route very early on between 1k and 2k. It wasn't properly sign posted and there was a railing left out so it wasn't clear where the route followed on. Apart from this mishap, the rest of the course was well directed and marshalled.
Great day!
Getting in, collecting items and bag drop was so smooth.
My friend was in with the early starters and it was nice to see her leave first and her get through the finish line before me.
My only downfall of the event was the some of the signs, it would have been nice to have some clear countdown signs when we got to the last couple of km as I didnt realise how little time we had left to the finish line. However, if I had my strava talking to me, I may have not been too fussed.
The rides after were brilliant too!
Thank you for a lovely day overall, I would still definitely recommend it.
