2027 will be 20th year! I have riden all 19 so will be back next year! Well worth the trip and raising money for a good cause

... however it seems to be an after-thought. There is very little information about the medium route - there is a long route card, but I can't find a medium route card. The website constantly refers to 2 well stocked feed stations - but that's just for the long route. So that means on the medium route you don't hit a feed station or place to top up your water until around 75kms in. We'd carried nutrition, but needed something more solid a lot earlier on. The medium route GPX was also buggy to download, (though could be user error). Overall its a punchy route for early season, not one that I'd recommend for beginners.

Don't think I'd buy the t-shirt again, prefer it to be cotton.

A very well thought out route, taking in lovely countryside, difficult hills and swooping descents to reward your efforts. Mainly quiet roads make for a relaxed ride. The organization, food and drink supplies and general atmosphere was excellent, and much praise is due to the organizers for a great day out.

A lovely route but seriously poor value for money. The two feed stations were simply crisps or sugar based cakes and chocolate which isn't enough to sustain you for a big ride and not even coffee available. I'm told by others that there were baguettes at one point but they obviously ran out. By the finish, they ran out of medals. The basic after ride burger with a beer was overpriced at £15.50 (and they'd run out of cheese for the burgers) which was a final kick in the teeth after paying £40 for what was essentially some snacks and a route I've done before by myself!

Thank you, you went about and beyond.
Well chosen route
Clear signs
Great rood stops at well selected places
Staff couldn't do more!
Extremely welcoming when we finished with lovely T-shirts (you can actually wear!)
Thank you, see you next year.

Very friendly and well organised.

Thanks for organising this event, a great day out with plenty of straightforward riding and some challenging climbs. Marshalling and signage were excellent.

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and added a huge amount to the atmosphere and overall event. The post ride reception was great too, especially appreciated the refreshments and live music! The route was fantastic, excellent views and quieter roads. I'll certainly be back (in large part because of the exceedingly friendly staff!)

The burgers and sausages at the end were overpriced for the quality of the burger. Unclear whether any of the profits from the food at the end went to charity but if so it lessens the blow. £7.50 for a very thin burger was steep.
