Great afternoon. I was new to this event so it was explained really well in the brief what to do and where to go I did have a problem with getting my bike on the stand at transition but everyone was very friendly thank you. Bridgette Smith

Great welcoming event for those who are both new to the sport or regular competitors - or even those of us with a bit of rust! Fantastic course enclosed from the roads which provides a fantastic safe environment for all ages to take part. A friendly, relaxed race vibe which brings the best out of everyone taking part and supporting. Dan M
