The best Sportive I have done. A good hard route with proper food - not gels - real food! Struggling to find a crtiicsim but big queue for food at teh end meant I didn't bother but that is as much I could find wrong even looking!

A great and very tough event. Signage required for sharp bends. Timing system a bit awkward. Also 2nd feed stop not good area for bikes otherwise I will be back!

first sportive. very happy with it, will be riding again next year all being well. lower score for feed stops as the energy drink was weak, and would like some gels, but i am being picky. timing was great but would i like to know my moving time? again being picky but it was my first one.

Brilliant ride, got the Coal road in earlier enough to still have some legs left, and Langbar at the end was a nice touch, not normally a tough climb, but after 110 miles..... Ouch!! Will definately be doing it next year :-))

A fantastic event, registration/check was extremely slick and straight forward. Food at the feedstations was great. And the route was just amazing - with some really tough climbs, and some great descents too.

Also loads to do back at HQ for the family, including a free bouncy castle and a hog roast!!!

The most organised sportive ride I've done (of many)...and huge brownie points for providing cheese sarnies at the feedstation just when the body could take no more gels or bars!

Would've scored higher if I'd seen any marshals or paramedics/ambulances actually on the route, I did the long route and only saw one first aider at Airton feed station and a motorbike first aider/marshal. Also to include Langbar right at the end meant no real warm down opportunity before the finish.

Good route, good checkpoints, recommended. On the minus side there were a couple of signs missing at strategic points where it would be easy to go wrong and an extra checkpoint to ensure people don't miss out Coal Road and the Dent climb would be worthwhile.

Great ride. Great route. My friend under estimated the long route. He had to pack in at airton. Had his parents not been there to collect him I'm not sure how he would get back. Saying that there was an emergency number. All in all an amazing event.
