Very friendly organisors, who I know were volunteers. Great start / finish location. Great route. Great to do something for charity.
However, ......
The following MUST be addressed for future events.
1) Adequate signage - 100m prior to turn-off, at turn-off, and confirmation 50m after turn-off.
2) Adequate signage for feed station. I went passed the 2nd feed station, also because it was on a main road it made it dificuilt to stop safely when cars are up your behind!!!
3) Adequate feed / water station - considering the heat, an additional station should have been provided 15 miles from end. Even just water would have been fine.
4) Feed station location needs improved. NEVER put a feed station on a main road. I am surprised the Police allowed you to do this. This location was dangerous and irresponsible.
5) I downloaded the route on Bikeroute Toaster however my Garmin was telling me I was going off-course in the later part of the course (turnoff main road after St Cyrus). If you are going to change the course then please explain that at registration.
The above are not recommendations, they are MUST DO's. The day was good, but could have been great if the above issues did not occur.
