What a great day. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Beautiful scenery and great weather, despite the forecast. That road from St Ives to St Just might just be the nicest road I've ever ridden. Gthyer

Great event, challenging route at times but beautiful way to explore the coastline off road. Felt the single track climb up the coast path wasn’t suitable as so many walkers made it impossible to try to ride and section across the moors defo could have done with a mountain bike but loved the challenge and sunny still day couldn’t have been better. The food station at St Just wasn’t there but yummy brownie at the final food stop!! Jo H
