Easy to register on arrival, calm and staggered start, clearly marked route, lived the energy drinks and bars and great atmosphere all day: perfect for beginners and those with many years of experience. There were participants fully kitted out who were clearly experienced and families who stopped for picnics. Perfect fit for everyone no matter your level or experience.

Poor signage last few turns, and some hills which were busy traffic wise, leading to unhappy drivers.

Course signage poor at couple of later turnings, some very busy roads with hills which caused chaos and unhappy drivers.

Good ride helped by good weather. Needed more bike stands at the feed station and at the finish.
