Great route and friendly support staff. GPX details seemed a little off in terms of altitude accuracy. Feed stations were not great, be nice to have more options available and possibly some proper food to buy including coffee (although there was coffee at final stop).

A bit more choice at the feed stations would be great. e.g. sausage rolls, sandwiches, flapjack. Also energy drink sachets would be really useful, I find gels too fiddly and sticky.

After a rather long gap this was my first sportive for over 4yrs, the route. organisation and communication was first class. I really enjoyed the event, it stayed windy and mainly dry and the course sign-posting was exceptional. Nice to have a medal and a free beer at the finish.

Nice sportive. The only downside comes down to results & timings. You are not officially classified given it is a sportive event. You could do your own standings at home copying results into the excel but these results are spoiled by people who signed up for certain track but at the end of the day they did shorter course. But they are still in the results for the course they signed for. Easy fix would be having a time keeper gates at the each course split, where your chip would be read so organizers would know which course you actually finished.

This is an exceptionally well run event. The markings were the best I have seen and the route selection was good with challenging hills and undulating terrain. Registration was very easy, facilities were great throughout and the staff were great. A real gem. Thank you!

The course:route was excellent, really enjoyable . Plenty of challenges and rewards. Well signposted. The only improvement, is probably another feed stop on the middle course! Long ride from the first stop in Peak Forest to the 2nd stop in Sheen . Overall a great day out ! See...
