In short: Shame about the inpatient car drivers nearly knocking people over at times. This is something that could be improved for next year. Good flatish event apart from the motorway bridges. You can pick some speed up on the downhills though.

In short: Flat & fast
In full: Fast, flat course. Not a race for good scenery - just good times. Lots of roundabouts. Pity about the impatient sunday drivers. Great to receive a towel (and a bunch of flowers) as opposed to another crappy t-shirt. Reviewed by Mrs SA.
