Did the Ironmountain yesterday. Top organisation, well managed start, working timing system, well signposted, a choice of drinks and food at every feed station, incredible route, supportive marshals, plenty of parking, and friendly respectful riders, (who were using the bins not the countryside for their gel packs). All of which made it an absolutely fantastic day. Well done Pendragon, and well done the people of Abergavenny and thank you for welcoming us.

P.S I hope the Dragon Ride organisers were watching.

    Exactly my thoughts, what a cracking sportive, will be there in 2012.

    Same goes for their organisation of todays Tour of the Black Mountains.
    Also the route was awsome, lots of hard climbing in brilliant scenery.

    +1 best but hardest sportive EVER, 120 miles of utter joy views, descents and anything <7% felt pan-flat not that there was much of that :?
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
