Poorly organised event not worth the money. Lots of potholes in the roads. Hardly any food or water at feed stations. No food stop at the end. Signage wasn't effective. Website wasn't the best. Results more than 8 hours to be uploaded. Goody bag was a puncture repair kit, a gel and a bottle of coop water. Don't do this event if you don't like being ripped off.

Look at other sportive so how they are run. Use village halls etc for feed stations where the facilities are better

We were not the fastest riders but when you put on an event you should cater for all and make sure that the facilities are there for both the first and the last rider.

I would not do it again. The route was great, and the signage perfect, but the provisions along the route were poor (only water after 19 miles), the so-called meal at the end was a poor snack, and therefore the event (basically only the route itself) was not worth 30 pounds.

Well organised. Well supported for a 1st event. Goody bag was excellent.
Only negative was the gpx file wasnt great and was at odds with route signs on a few occasions leading you to not trust the gpx fully. As one of the first dozen past scampton the route sign had been turned so a few of us carried on towards Gainsborough instead of making the turn. Due to the gpx file being incorrect earlier in the ride we followed the sign as before only to realise we had gone several miles in the wrong direction.
Apart from that was a very enjoyable route.
Thanks

A well organised event based at beautiful DoddIngton Hall. Excellent facilities including the Giant bike shop and cafe. Well worth going to if you're on a bike ride l and want to stop for a refuel. As far as I'm aware this was a first time event. Hope it returns next year as I look forward to doing it again.
