Actually, the organisation was great except for the very end of the full pint. Many riders were trying to climb the final, very steep hill to the car park whilst finishers from the half pint were trying to leave the location in their cars. This resulted in riders having to dismount and finish the course on foot. Maybe "one way round the track" for cars next time?

Everything about this ride was excellent. Route fantastic on quiet country lanes with stunning views and the vibe at the end with the Bar-B-Q and drinks was great. Certainly signing up for next year and have already recommended to others.

The road surfaces on the route today was unfortunately very poor with lots of pot holes and gravel. Not your fault obviously but it did not make for a pleasant ride. The course itself has some beautiful scenery.We felt the refreshment stops were poor with the choice of food available. A little more variety would have been nice ie: some sort of cake not just a soren banana bread bar. At the end it would have been nice to be presented with something, not necessarily a medal but a voucher for 1 drink or something of that nature. Medical cover should have also been available at the refreshment stops and at the end. The fact that I could not be given an ice pack at either of these places is not adequate medical cover, as advertised. Comparing your sportive with other sportives entered,we felt this was certainly not value for money.

Enjoyed the course although some surfaces needed a gravel bike (not your fault!). Excellent signage! Feed stations were disappointing I'm afraid compared to other sportives I have participated in. Should have had a wider variety of options on offer (where was cake!!!) - we don't all survive on High5 and jelly babies! If there is only going to be a small selection of foods, let us know so we can bring our own!Would have been nice to have something to 'celebrate' finishing rather than having to just buy a beer. Everyone loves a goody bag.
