In short: Nothing special
In full: It was two hilly laps of non descript suburbia. This is not necessarily a factor that makes a race any worse than average in my opinion, but sections of the course with scant marshalling, no pavement and no barrier between the participants and a busy A road do bend my thoughts away from a repeat performance.

In short: Low-key Race
In full: Difficult to PB here, since a lot of the time you're on the road and overtaking is risky.
The finish line could have been marked a little more clearly - I almost kept going past it!
A re-think on the souvenir would also be good - the same old medal year after year is a bit uninspired.
