In short: Best run yet - down to the course and organisation
In full: First time for me - shame on me as I only live about 4 miles away. Excellent stewarding, good course, hills were not as bad as anticipated. See you next year!

In short: my third time, and my local race so of course, it has to be done
In full: This year the start time was bought forwrad after complaints that a 3pm start in July was unbearable (it was!). Ironically though, today was still probably one of the hottest days of the year, so going up and down the hills of Bushey was no easy feat. As ever though, great atmosphere, great value- loads of prizes- and a spectator friendly course.

In short: Nice " hilly" race.
In full: Neve done thins before and had read a lot about the hills in previous reports. There are a few long, but not too steep hills, but this made it fun.
Good organisation and good marshalling, there seemed to be marshalls on every turn. Good water stations by the schools on route.
My only complaint.....the last two marshalls promised me ice cold lager was waiting at the end...could I find it...!! could I hell..( were you being a couple of cheeky minxes!!)..but you made me enjoy the last few hundred meters. Feel free to pop round for some lovely chilled wine..Really good event..well organised and great value for money.
