A great early season race for both experienced and novice athletes. Maybe take the word 'novice' out of the race name as its a good decent (if short dash) event in good surroundings and roads.
Iideally I would ask that the final left turn back into the lake area be cordoned off on some way (maybe a taped off small bike lane of 20 metres just at the junction) as a queue of cars left no room at all for bikes to turn left and forced me into a dangerous position to make the turn.
