In short: great race. Begginers should not be put off by the hills.
In full: Knocked 23 mins off last years time and a new PB by over 4 mins-so theres always PB potential.

In short: Beautiful scenery from the top.
In full: The race was tough but scenic, really well organised. I found the last half mile (seemed much longer) up a relatively gentle hill was a real killer.

In full: Very tough half with lots of climbs and a steep decent from the top. Mostly quiet country roads with great views. Good organisation, decent support and a nice T-shirt. Definitely back next year.
