In short: Up and down and lots of fun
In full: Nice to see that the organisers had flattened out the course this year! Seriously, it's funny how the memory always makes this race seem more challenging than it actually is.
Firsat lap is great to plan strategy for second half. All in all a decent warm up for the Autumn.

In full: I really enjoyed entering this event. The organisation was excellent and there was a friendly atmosphere around the race. It was traffic free course with a couple of hills to test you but there were lots friendly locals shouting encouragement to make up for them!
