First point was that the race went ahead so top points for that, lots of other events fell to the weather over this weekend.
Heavy rain made the course more interesting if nothing else, but is it is XC season so made it more fun IMHO.
Course is very nice, tougher first 5km as you take in the climbs then downhill last 5km before a last lump to splash down to the finish area.
The Strava map is funny.
Water and banana and bling at the end.
Pacing was difficult if keeping on pace, as you pulled away from people on the ups and people went past you on the start and we had nothing to really stand out as pacers, but have passed that on to the team.
If you get there early you can pack near the start finish if not you park about 1km down the road.
There is a little play area for kids if you dragging them along on a warmer day.
Has selection of food and warm drinks, and ON were around this year letting people try on the shoes.
A fun end of year road/xc race.
Thanks for the great review and feedback Will, glad to hear you enjoyed the event and we've taken note of your pacing feedback ready for next year! We hope to see you at next years HBRR! - None
