    Second year for me - much better route this year I thought. The rain stopped completely after the first 25 minutes, fantastic!

    Thanks to all the marshalls and organisers. Apart from the Norman Collier PA system at the start (showing my age there...), the organisation is superb for such a small event - marshalls everywhere you need them and even temporary police closures for a couple of the road crossings. And then dinner at the end! Must be the best value for money of almost any sportive (ok, mini-sportive) and I shall definitely be back again next year.

    Yep cracking afternoon, great organisation, great route and even a scheduled pub stop at my favourite Lakes establishment. Missed out on the the food at the finish as had a prior arrangement down the road, but called in at Wilfs and it all looked up to their usual standard.

    Wheelbase deserve another big pat on the back :D

    It seems to be organised by people who like bikes and being outdoors. Is it annual even. Is it on next year? Love to have a go at it.
