In short: Enjoyable race once you're up onto the Hog's Back
In full: Climb for the first 3 miles then you can almost relax for the rest of the race. Pleasant scenery despite the freezing fog and icy roads! Will be back...

In short: Hills, hills, hills... and cold!
In full: Very good race - tough climb pretty much from the start all the way to the top of the Hogs Back. Very cold and a little dangerous down the other side becuase of the ice.
I'll definitely do it again...
