In short: Very well organised, will be back, if I can remember to get my entry in on time
In full: Solution to the parking problems - cycle from home, bring your bike on the train or park somewhere else and cycle in from there. It works, try it!

2010 51st Hogs Back Road Race 8.2

In short: Same as usual....
In full: One of the most dependable raccs on the calendar in that you can guarantee the course measurement will still be wrong (has it ever been 8.2 miles) and there will be a crappy memento - last year's mug leftover, or plastic medal withh a pig sticker - I'd be happy with neither.

In short: Excellent organisation. Would have liked more drinks at the finish
In full: I've avoided this race for years, fearing 4 dull, repetitive laps in boring Ruislip, dodging buses. I was pleasently surprised - the course is a mix of road and pavement, very well marshalled and no problems with traffic. The lovely weather helped to make this a very nice day out.

2008 46th Hogs Back 8

In short: Average race, same old crappy medal at the finish
In full: Each year, this race looks a little more tired than the last. Same course, same start, same finish, same mile markers in the wrong places, Still no accurate measurements. No PA at the finish this year. No goody bag, just water at the finish, Can't be bothered even to put the date on the cheap medal. Maybe this is just a fund-raiser for GGAC?
