Great event for the amateur racer and sportive rider alike

So much more than a bike race!

The uniqueness in the event lies in the planning that goes into the weekend. Both my kids race, I race, and my wife loves to see it all. Never does she feel bored, and it’s always the thing that we plan the first quarter of the year around. Thanks all for a great event and the weather was ace! Some extra BOTB bobble hats and mugs to purchase over the weekend would be great, but that’s about my only request.

Hard but enjoyable

Head wind was a killer again this year

I absolutely LOVED it!!! What a fabulous, unique and all round brilliant event.

I put a "maybe" for question 6 because I think such a huge field could be somewhat off-putting for beginners. Nothing can be done about that, just an explanation.

Great course change to cater to the mix of fitness/abilities

Having the split of the laps allowed for the faster riders to concentrate on their race without being bogged down by slower riders whilst on their 2nd lap. The change in course directions also allowed for the laps not to become repetitive. The only consistent part was the beach and unfortunately nobody can control headwinds!

Great work, look forward to another go next year!
