Well done to the organizers, everything seemed to go without a hitch as far as I could tell. It was really great having it at 10:30am as it freed up the afternoon nicely. Same time next year please. Thought the worst part was walking from the finish back up to the car park. Now that was steep!
ReplyDeleteFantastic day...well organised. Hilly but perfect weather!!
ReplyDeleteWell done...loved 10.30 start
