Thanks for the Doritos @ feed stop. So welcome after sickly gel after sickly gel, washed down by sickly energy drink.
Only improvement would have been parking. I iknow with the number it is difficult and you are in the hands of the site owners. However, you had an admirable village set up with a superb band providing entertainment along with interesting trade stands. Unfortunately most competitors had dug to the depths of their energy levels and just wanted to change into comfortable dry clothes and recover. Personally I was stiff as a board after 6.5 hrs on the 100 mile route and fully intended coming back to the village for a massage.
Logistically you did extremely well and I do not envy you in organising it to everybody's 100% satisfaction. You have brought sportives to a new level and I am pleased to see you are not resting on your laurels.

It was a glorious ride - sometimes a bit crowded due to the 'clubs' riding in peleton; but fantastic course and thoroughly enjoyable.

Great event with amazing organisation from UKCE team. Marshall support was excellent with STOP boards and flags at the junctions keeping us all safe. Only negative point for me was food stations full of sweet food and I could have done with savoury food.

A good event, hq was well laid out parking was sufficient. Some of the roads were a bit dangerous in parts due to flooding and sheer number of cattle grids. However it was well laid out and there was plenty of support if an incident happened. Would do again.

Wet Start, but the weather could not dampen the event. I had 2 punctures, which affected my time, but a Wiggle mechanic turn up and help me ... what service! Great Route, would recommend this one.

Good sportive, well organised and in a lovely location. Main criticism would be the lack of on route support, didn't see any at all, in what turned out to be a bit of a puncture fest.
