Rider Feedback
I wanted to drop you a line personally to congratulate you on an excellent event. I had a great time (except of course the last 10 miles!), and the organisation was superb. In my mind this ticked all the boxes, and should be held up as a standard for other sportives to aspire to. Dominic Baker Kingston Wheelers
The organisation and signing was definitely top notch, and the course
was plenty challenging and very scenic.
James Shrubsall Cycling Weekly
As a rider its great to receive encouragement on all the stops, the staff
really made you feel special and were connected rather than just handing
out. Best bit for me was the cheering at the finish, really gave a sense
of achievement!!
