In short: Very enjoyable race.
In full: I'd thoroughly recommend this race. There were enough people to ensure you get that race feeling but few enough to allow good elbow room after the first few hundred metres. Slightly rolling course adds interest and offers some long fast descents including the last mile. Everbody very friendly before, during and after the race. Good changing facilities.

In full: What a great race. Organisation was second to none. Super marshals - Cheerful, supportive and very efficient. Local support was good, and even the cyclists cheered us along.
Value for money - T-shirt and medal.
A challenging scenic course. Well done to everyone involved.

In short: Really good half
In full: This is an excellent race through lovely Warwickshire countryside. It is gently undulating and could be quite quick. A negative split is definitely on as there seemed to be more downhill coming back. The course is more of a saucepan than a true out and back. The water and marshalls were all excellent. Enough people taking part but not too many if you know what I mean. Good value too with a medal and T-shirt. One to look out for next year.

In short: Excellent race, really well orgainsed. More hills than expected.
In full: Very friendly race and many thanks to the tall bloke who kept me going when I started to walk towards the top of the 11-12 mile hill. This was in character with the atmosphere all the way around.
