Excellent support on a stunning route - thanks for booking the weather too.

The food selection was good, but it would have been nice to have some flapjacks. I thought the organisation was great, and I enjoyed the pasta and cider at the end.

The condition of some of the lanes was challenging in places, so I'm not sure if the ride would be suitable to beginner cyclists.

Thanks so much to all involved in organising the event, and to the Village Hall for hosting the start/finish. I'll def be back again.

Excellent sportive. Just what I need as preparation to head into the Alps. Some of the lanes need serious investment. I picked up a puncher and every participant asked if I needed help - brilliant

Fantastic well run friendly event. Challenging but great fun. Will be back!

Thank you for organising an excellent event. The atmosphere was very friendly at the start and on all the food stations. Big shout out to the mechanic who relayed a message to me about my friends who had a mechanical issue near the start. And obviously thanks for sorting them out. A challenging course but what a course! I slept well afterwards!

Beautiful route the best of the three I’ve done. So much better starting and finishing in wales rather than having to go over the bridge
