Brilliant but tough event!

The event was amazing! had great fun with my family riding this one!
the lunch stop was amazing and had loooads on offer and the free bike mechanic service was spot on!
Perfect day out! probably a bit too technical and tough to market to beginners though

Well organised, very well supported, very scenic.

Best rest stations of any event I’ve done. Consistently a pleasure from year to year.

A good challenge

A good route. Pleased with the off road to on road ration. Some descents tough on a gravel bike but a good challenge

Brilliant

I entered the 50 thinking I might do 75. At the end I was glad I did 50. Now with rose coloured hindsight I wish I’d done 75.

Being a bit older and a returnee to mountain biking this was perfect. I enjoyed the climbs but I’m no Tom Pidcock and found the decents a bit scary. Especially the fast road decent before Guiting and that ending.

My reminder to practice decending and improve my skills ready for next year. I might not feel so physically tense and tired after downhills by then.
Thank you for a great ride.

Always a great event

Fabulous , tough ride. Always enjoy it. Second only to the roc d’azur for the adrenaline buzz of going as quick as you can without racing

Amazing event as always

100km Course is hard make sure you are up to it, but plenty of other options and you can change of the day,
