In short: A great combination of road, cross country and hills set in fabulous scenery
In full: I loved this race. Thurlow is a picturesque village in Suffolk with many of the locals turning out to help stage the event.
It is a tough course and I would admire anyone able to achieve a PB, however it is a lovely scenic course with a combination of hills, off road and some fast downhill sections.
Support from the locals and marshal was excellent.
I really enjoyed the race, it has a real local feel but was well organised. A definite for 2012
