Great day, route, price. Best feed stations and volunteers running them I've ever experienced. Something for next year, long ride route file needs updating as my bike computer kept telling me i was off course

It was great to have a feed station on the 25 mile route - a huge improvement and much appreciated. It made us feel part of the event, much more enjoyable and sociable. Please keep this for next year! It was good to have hot food and great coffee at the end of the event. It's been hard to recreate the finishing atmosphere that we had at Crug Glas - live music and more space to sit and chill out encouraged people to stay longer. I guess this is a work in progress and this year seemed better than last year. It would be nice to have t-shirts in every size to try on at the end - there was only a single t-shirt left on the Saturday. I would have ordered one if I was sure it would fit. Lots of us cycling the 25 mile route would like a 35-40 mile route to aim for - but appreciate that it would be difficult to fit in another route. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the ride this year - beautiful scenery, good food and lovely weather - thank you.

I did the 23 mile route but would like to ride further but not as many as 60 miles in this challenging hilly geographic location. To keep me coming back to this event I would like to see a 35-40 mile distance introduced because there is a big gap between 23 and 60 miles. I suggest you ditch the 60 mile distance and have instead distances of 23, 40, 75 and 100 miles. Having a food station on the 23 mile route was good.

Very well run event. The course was fantastic and well chosen. There were hardly any vehicles on the majority of the course. The start as easy to find. The feeding stations were perfect. The high 5 drink I had from one of the stations was not so good, too salty. The oranges, mini flapjacks, honey sarnies, perfect. So easy to put your bike up on the racks as well. I was glad you didnt do the race up in fishguard as well as im a slow hill climber and it can be a bit stressful when people are racing past you. I LOVED the drummers at the bottom of the hill. I managed to raise £1000 for a great cause and got a real sense of achievement from this ride. Thank you!

Tour of Pembrokeshire is a great sportive. I did the 105 route, and the support, food stations and everyone was so friendly - riders and support staff. The weather helped but it is the most amazing route - coastal path heading south with fantastic views, then head back north and then east. Excellent roads, quiet, amazing atmosphere and great food stations. Then it's back along the coast to the finish in St David's. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent feed stations, well positioned. Glad there were 3 in the second half of the event. Would've liked to have a climb timed for a mid race competition. I didn't use a TT bike but I'm glad it was an option. This event would be a good way to test your TT setup for Ironman W...
Excellent feed stations, well positioned. Glad there were 3 in the second half of the event. Would've liked to have a climb timed for a mid race competition. I didn't use a TT bike but I'm glad it was an option. This event would be a good way to test your TT setup for Ironman Wales. I'd consider using a TT bike next time.

I'll be honest, I've completed various distances over 5 years of riding the tour of Pembrokeshire, 80 mile, 105, 135 miles. This year I've noticed that there is less fanfare and less local interest in the tour of Pembrokeshire. This year it was held at the secondary school which is missing the atmosphere, seating areas and family appeal that have been there on previous occasions when better choices of Ride HQ were used. I have had timing issues on a number of occasions at the tour of pembrokeshire and this year was no exception. Chip readers dont look to have been set up on time as there were no intermediate times for those who started at 8am and were quickest around the 80mile course. This meant once I had finished my ride I wasnt given a time and had to email support later in the evening to find my official time. Annoying as I finished the 80 mile ride in the quickest time and beat my time from 10 years ago but wasnt able to celebrate with family in St Davids as yet again my time was messed up. Sounds a bit negative but when youve paid £50 and made a real effort to get a good time you want to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour once you finish. It seems to me that sportive organisers are charging big money but dont look to be that interested to be honest. Braking it down you pay £50 for what you can really do for free, if you rock up with your course loaded on your garmin. I didnt fancy a baked potato and didnt need to use the feed stops so all I received was a cheaply made medal and a time that I had to ask for once I had got back to my accomadation. Thank goodness for Pembrokshires views!

We absolutely loved the tour of pembrokeshire. The route couldn’t have been more lush and was really well signposted. Marshalls and volunteers at aid stations were super friendly and on the whole the feed stations were great - the vegan options were plentiful! But we were unlucky to arrive at the third when they had run out of sandwiches so some of us were feeling slightly underfuelled - I would always take back up for events like this though, but I’d like to request coke at all the stations! We would be buzzing to come back next year and experience it all again. A good challenge!

Great route in fabulous countryside. Well organised. Probably best sportive I’ve done. Please though can you dispense with bag and medal at the end. Just another one that I don’t need and it’s not great for the environment. Feed stations well-stocked but needs a better balance ...
Great route in fabulous countryside. Well organised. Probably best sportive I’ve done. Please though can you dispense with bag and medal at the end. Just another one that I don’t need and it’s not great for the environment. Feed stations well-stocked but needs a better balance of sweet and more savoury particularly as ride progresses. Will be back so thank you.
