In short: excellent race
In full: I do this every year and it never dissapoints. Good changing and showers. Good cup of coffee and butties in the leisure centre. Not a pb course as the road up to the Roaches hill range is very hilly but the view ove the top is wonderful. Good friendly atmosphere as well.

In short: Fab views but really very tough steep climbs from start to finish. No chance of a PB but a great feeling of achievement at the end.
