In full: A well organised race with very good marshalling! The course is a mixture of road and country park and the conditions were as to be expected for a very cold November morning. I found the club members and officials to be very helpful and friendly. A good race and a good Pud!

In short: Good race, well marshalled. Not flat!
In full: I enjoyed the race but all chance of a PB went out of the window with the start. People just couldn't break up as the road funnelled people for a fair while.
Nice mix of terrain. Hill at the end took the sting out of a sprint finish!
