A well run and well signed event, no chance of getting lost. A smaller event gave it a more personal touch, HQ was well set up and there were amply stocked feed stations spaced evenly around the course. I would recommend BigFeat events and would do one again.

Big Feat continue to put on cracking sportives. Claire and Chris, and volunteers make a massive difference. That’s me done 6 events over the last 3 years. Quest to the West is a great route. Decent challenge too. Roll-on to May 2024 for Beast to the East. 🚴

The Team were really friendly, welcoming and supportive. I found the route markers, being white on pale blue, diffucult to read until very close, in the low light of a dull September day. Colours with more contrast would be an improvement, as would increased size.

Really well organised friendly event. Plenty of parking. Registration quick and easy. Did this event last year and will do again next year. Loved it! Quite hilly but fab views and downhills. Just had to watch the gravel in some spots. Lovely country lanes. Well marshalled on the distance splits. And well marked course. Delicious cakes at the finish and a lovely cuppa. A fab Sunday morning thanks to BigFeat events.

An extremely well organised occasion. Clare and Chris could not have been more helpful and supportive with pre-event information and on the day friendliness. They have built a great following for the event - the 3rd time I've done it and it gets larger and the logistics, marshall...

This is a very well organised event and the route is spectacular. There were some greasy sections of road and lots of debris / gravel in places caused by the recent bad weather however this was covered in the pre ride brief.
