What a great race. I can't say enough about how well this race was organized and how sweet the route was. Some nice little rocky bits with 2 good stiff climbs. And the feeling of riding an unknown route and area was cool. Overall really nice route thourghly enjoyed it and perfect weather ????.

 

You can not beat this race for value for Money...Makes me wonder why I don't do more of the smaller races instead of the oversubscribed overpriced commercial races. Time for a change .

 

Friendly ppl & lots and I mean lots of watering points. Will definitely be back next year. If you haven't done this race put it in your calendar.

 

Anybody know who was taking all the photos?

What a hidden gem in the big smoke! Hard to figure why more folk don't do this.

 

Action-packed route with something for everyone, from rocks to forests to rivers to climbs. Brilliantly marked route, great marshaling, warm hospitality from the locals ....

 

Definitely underestimated how tough this would be. Will train properly for next year - this is going to become a calendar fixture.
