In short: Utterly wonderful
In full: I'm shaking my head at the "goody bag whingers" and assorted other remarks, if you don't think ths race is very special then I'm afraid you have no soul. This covers the 2009 and 2010 races.

In short: Undoutably a great race but . . .
In full: in comparison to the races I categorise as must do races falls a bit short . . .and there are a few 'must do races' in North Wales.
