Fantastic atmosphere and camaraderie

Slick and well catered.

Very well organised event and without a doubt the best stocked feed station I have EVER seen. Mostly gravel riding, some big climbs and big views.

A very well organised event offering great value for money in beautiful countryside

Signage was particularly good this year, hats off to all the marshals who did a great job

Great event and a tough challenge

Final climb on Cleeve seemed unnecessary!

Superb organisation, from the car park to throughout the XC course and the post race refreshments and fun.

My 3rd time, and as good as any of the many MTB events I’ve done in the past 12 years

A great days gravel in the Cotswolds!

I would of liked some normal t-shirts to buy on the day rather than tech ones, maybe something that can be done for the 40th. I did the XL which was awesome, missed the last feed station as didn't notice the signs, if these could be included in the route going forward that would be great, but overall the XL was great fun!

Fabulous day mountain biking in the Cotswolds

Absolutely superb event. Superbly organised on the trails, at the feed stations and at the start and finish at Sudeley Castle. Everyone involved, the army of volunteers and the competitors are very friendly. Beautiful scenery. I definitely prefer the event in September. My sincere thanks to everyone involved in organising and running the event. I have participated several times and would be delighted to help/ volunteer

A brilliant day out in the Cotswolds

Done the HONC many times, rode a gravel bike this year, the route felt like the best ever, barely any road sections and great off road.

The most fun that can be achieved during a six hour press up

I would love to see some more girlies and will keep encouraging others.
