Excellent organisation both before the event and during. Great communication before the event with all the information needed. Route very good - very few main roads and only a one town to ride through with lots of traffic and parked cars - mostly open countryside - brilliant
Signage at second feed station could have been clearer for those just wanting to follow the route and not stop. Minor minor issue, just a small annoyance on the day.
Definitely recommend these events,

Despite it being a very cold day due to the wind the ride was good. Nice route, I did the short one. Wasn’t as traffic free as I had hoped it to be sadly. Route was really clearly marked, good organisation and pre event info all great. Our feed station was well off the route though which was surprising…. And the food was crisps, cake, sweets and bananas - bit unhealthy. Refreshments were limited at the start/finish with just a pizza van and a little coffee van. Water/electrolyte was provided at the start and feed stations. Parking was great and plenty of it. Enjoyed the day and would do this venue again.
