In short: Pleasant race over familiar territory
In full: First time I've tried this but being a Horsforth Harrier the route was very familiar so I knew where the hills were and wasn't caught out by them!
Well organised and a nice friendly Sunday race.

In short: Nice course , good views. Needed a couple more marshals.
In full: The off road segments of the race had lovely views. Only thing that let it down for me was the marshaling. Near the end in the housing estate the marshal was poor (sat on their car ) so a few of us had to ask where we were going. Saying that I did enjoy the race.

In short: Very nice way to spend a Sunday morning
In full: A little hillier than I'd expected but a nice route. Very well organised and marshalled.

Well worth doing again.
