At least it was a different route than the usual right out the tunnel course used over and over again b race organisers. Therefore goingto be a few clitches that are ironed out after a ride with numbers. If you dont like paying the penalty fee ..then pre enter! I must say me cold icey at the end was refreshing compared to a cup of hot coke / Powerade at most races. It was a great family day out with an atmosphere not found at many other rides.
