From start to finish, and by that I mean right from booking a place to regular communication along the way, to registration on line and/or at the event. Cheerful, friendly volunteers all the way round and excellent food stops with once again friendly volunteers making tea, coffee and generally being very helpful. Bike mechanic van and engineer at every feed station. This is without doubt a very well organised event. A very relaxed atmosphere on the ride too. Well done to the whole team! I will Definitely do it again!
Great event once again. Well organised, extremely friendly, helpful marshals and helpers. Feed stations first class, lots of choices. Route marking brilliant. Well done to all.
A brilliant event, well run and fun to ride. Not everyone thinks Essex is a pretty county but this might change your mind!
