In short: Great race for a first timer - thoroughly enjoyed it!
In full: Great race friendly crowd and well organised. The only point I would make is that it is described as fairly flat however, it isnt flat at all! lots of hills. This didnt detract from a great days experience. Fantastic support on every corner and tireless marshalls making sure everyone was safe. Fantastic.

In short: Doesn't get much better than this.
In full: Starting on the menai bridge was magnificent, the whole course was superb and even the bit of wind wasn't too much of a hindrance on the way back. Lots of friendly marshals and well marked route meant things went like clockwork, excellent race that I hope goes from strength to strength in the future.
