    Did the Full Pint in 2019

    Very challenging course with quite a few hills. But unfortunately when we got to the finish we just wanted a cup of tea and it had all been packed away.

    Did the Half Pint in 2019

    A lumpy course with sharp, muscle burning climbs that will really test your legs. Very well signposted, even without the GPX file running on your GPS, you will find your way around with ease. Great organisation, superb facilities at Thornbridge Brewery itself including an on hand bike mechanic for them last minute bike tweaks, and a great bunch of friendly organisers. Looking forward to booking up for next year.

    Do it folks!

    Did the Half Pint in 2018

    Really well organised and good communication near the date so was easy to access the information on the day. Some loos near the car park would have been really helpful - to help you get organised before you got on your bike. Apart from that everything was great and lovely homemade granola and sandwiches on route. Thank you team!
