Hanging around until 9am was a little frustrating, but otherwise a great morning cycling.

This years route was not as good as last year although organisers had to change due to road closers unfortunately this meant the water stop on the 100k route came at 70k a little late in my opinion. There are plenty of route arrows to follow if you don’t have a bike computer though sometimes hard to see.Venue and organisation is superb

great course, very helpful staff but really sorry, a TWO hour wait for the mechanic [Martin, nice guy, not his fault he was so busy] ruined my day and cost me my full pint. big thank you to Carlos and the 2 lads at the first fuel station for their patience, including delaying taking down the half pint signs so i could at least do that but clearly, insufficient support, sorry.i would appreciate complimentary entry next year.david wadenorfolkwadey@hotmail.co.uk

Good organisation and set up with the brewery.. and good for the local business . Question the value @ £25. If viable get the local council to fill in the majority of the pot holes , far too many..still an enjoyable event…thanks for organising

First feeding station was too near the beginning and the last too near the end. Better to have had 1 in the middle. Otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable route with a cracking beer at the end. Lovely stuff.

A medal / momento should be given at the end (in addition to the beer)Appreciate roadworks shortened the route but I’d imagine it wouldn’t be overly difficult to have kept it to at least 100km - even if that meant a lap of a section of the route.Would have been better to avoid coming back in along the A5 - lots of traffic Signposting was excellent.Route was lovely (maybe some roads were a little too ‘track’ for road bikes)Venue at start end was great. Nice touch putting the music on
