In full: Love this race..really good value. Tough with some hard hills, but one of those that you feel good at the end. I travel down from Liverpool because my sister lives around the corner. Well worth the journey. If you haven't done it, your missing out. Great atmosphere!

In short: Deservedly popular challenging XC race
In full: Second time at the Bells and I knocked about 2 mins off last year's time. Lovely event and more popular than ever meaning it does get rather crowded in places, including the loos!
