In short: Nice race
In full: A nice race over what is an unusual distance to normally race at, good scenic route with very little traffic. Few little ups and downs with the biggest climb at about the 8 mile mark. Well marshalled and organised, can see this race growing in popularity. Maybe more toilets next year as numbers grow! Apart from that good event and great goodie bag at the end with lovely chocolate inside!

In short: Excellent race with only one main climb and goodie bag at the finish
In full: Easy to find and very local for me. Main car park full quickly but plenty of other parking nearby. Toilets and showers in main sports club and bar. Well marshalled and very scenic race through quiet country roads and round lake before heading back to the sports club. One long climb at the 8 mile mark made it a tough finish but overall not too difficult a race. Nice goodie bag at the finish with a heavy glass paper weight instead of the medal. There was even a BBQ at the finish for those needing instant energy replacement.
