It was the most enjoyable sportive I have done.

The organisation was good and the host facilities excellent; the use of tables in the Museum for food after the event was fantastic.

Lovely roads, not too hilly

Will be back next year. Really enjoyed this event. Varied roads & lovely views along the route. Actual distance was 54 miles instead of 60.

See you again in 2026

Very well organised and the venue was spot on. Food was very good as well. Only downside?....a finher's medal be a nice touch but fully appreciate the costs involved for doing so. Overall an excellent experience and a good route choice. Here's to next year's one :)

Lovely local ride

Along with signs along the route, would be good to indicate distance like 10 miles, 20, 30 etc…

Great day out in the beautiful rolling Aberdeenshire countryside

Brilliant sportive, this is the 2nd year I've taken part. Organisation and Feed Stops were great, lovely event staff and we stayed dry this year too! Enjoyed a burger and chips with drink at the end, which comes as part of the event package. Great value for money, thanks to all involved

Excellent sportive, well organised, friendly atmosphere.

Only slight negative was that the route was 55 miles, not 60 miles as advertised.

A really enjoyable day

People should not think this is a flat course - in fact you hit 800 feet of climb in the first 30 minutes. So be prepared. Staff were friendly and really helpful, venue is excellent for managing the numbers who attend. The Brewdog smashed burger was a fitting end to long ride. I attended alone but felt welcome. Will return.

Well organised, enthusiastic crew

Well stocked rest stops and there are toilets there too. Friendly happy organisation and great food afterwards. Nice quiet roads. Deserving of a bigger crowd.

Scenic beauty

Nice route , mechanic support, well stocked food stations and lovely volunteers
Maybe a medal would encourage more people to enter (environmental friendly one )
