As i didn't know the area of course a few more arrows at certain areas would have helped. Also the last feeding station was close a bit to close to the end. It could have been spread out a bit more or a smaller one at the finish.

Great event. Fantastic food at the feed station and a free beer at the end. Fabulous 👌. Only suggestion is a later split off for the medium and long routes to enable friends/family to share the experience for longer when they are doing different length rides.

An excellent event, well supported and sign-posted. The only spot that could have been improved was the left turn at Broadhembury - this came up suddenly after a fast downhill section, and didn't feel as safe as the rest of the course. Additional signage here (an earlier warning ...

This was a well run event. We became lost after a direction sign moved or was moved but got back on track and completed the event. Could have done with a support vehicle and a card for emergencies but otherwise very good

The course was perfectly marked, and the entire event was flawlessly managed. Highly recommended! Also the use of the orange outline on some of the serious potholes was of great help .👍

My first cycling event and I really loved it. Fantastic work from the Sportiva team. Friendly, well organised and fantastic directions/course labelling. I had heard that the feed stations were good, but they were something else. Awesome medal as well. Absolutely to recommend.

Another very enjoyable Taunton Flyer 2026. I have to say that the Standard of Professionalism from all the staff was Excellent. From the Routing of the course, to the Aid Stations, it made the day very Special. To the Marshals on course, to the Ladies at the aid stations that filled water bottles, and help anyway they could, and of course to the wonderful staff at the Start , Finish. Overall I thought that it was a successful day all round, a big Congratulations to everyone of you, thank you hopefully see you again in 2027.
