In short: Good, flat course - slow inclines in the middle to challenge you
In full: Boring course, but I love Leeds and live in the South, so even that wasn't altogether a bad thing, just good to see the place again. Good standard at the front, but plenty of beginners. Beware if you're slow, though, as they open the roads pretty sharpish...

In short: Had a very good day!
In full: Nice and flat and the expected problems on the turn right after the start didn't happen. Not the most exciting of scenery but a nice, easy and beginner friendly race. Highly recommended.

In short: Dash moves up a level
In full: Clear start/finish, but would prefer it without the initial right turn. Good idea to get the Abbey involved - will next year's race have a Spanish theme?

In short: Good race, got PB but otherwise not remarakable.
In full: The organisers should consider a water station, maybe at the abbey and better toilet facilities would be good. Also given no water stations I would have appreciated baing able to get to the water more quickly at the end. it wasn't much fun having to wait for traffic, t-shirts, chip removal before getting to the water!
