In short: Well done to every one who made it possible even with the highways agency throwing a spanner in the works, but you can't keep a good race down. With out your effort it would just be another boring Sunday. I salute you;)

In short: A great race, well organised, with a route that keeps it intersting throughout
In full: This was my first Newtons Fraction and it will not be my last. I will be back next year.
A great venue to start and finish with plenty of parking. Plenty of changing facilities.
Well marshalled and signposted throughout and although it says not traffic free, I hardly saw any cars on the road sections.
The hills were a major challenge but it did show that they were steep very clearly in the course profile - so be warned!!!
Good support along the way.
An excellent goody bag at the end.
For value for money - this has to be one of the best ones around.
I would recommend this race to everyone
Well done to all involved!!!
