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
Trevor Moody
Brilliant event be there next year
Great time down there and I’ll be trying to get others to do it next year thank you
Lawrence Hall
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!
Mark Conlon

Two years in and I’m keen to come back for more. Keep up the good work and varying the beautiful routes.

Have done this event a few times now and loved the 140km this year, a tuff but brilliant ride, back next year for more
Stephen Fleming
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
Jon Chandler
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.
Fiona Jolly
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.
Good days riding
Would like to see event return to pre covid date.
Mass start lead out was always good.

Great value

Great day out riding in the Cotswolds - when you don't live there!
Great options around route lengths. Fabulous atmosphere on the day - plenty of friendly riders and organisers. Good refreshments available at the end.
