I have done previous Red Kite Events sportives. They always deliver great routes which are very well signposted and though out.

The food stops always have a selection of home made treats, cake, quiche, potatoes, etc etc. This event delivered the same - the first stop had run out of food but as I was about to leave it got restocked, it must be difficult to judge the
number of riders/amount of food levels. The other stops on the long route all had plenty of food.

Timing was spot on, earlier events have been hit and miss with the timing. Looks like they must have invested in a new chipped timing system.

Red Kite Events are clearly about the riding and supporting us as riders. You do not get all the bells and whistles like Kilotogo or Human Race but you also do not get the crowded roads or the hefty entry fees.

Fantastic sportive, excellently arranged with excellent foodstops serving great food. Medium course was brilliant just the right amount of challenges and great scenery.

Only let down on the scoring because when we got to the food stop there was very little left. No milk for a cuppa! The toilets at the start were blocked and out of order. And I can't find the riders times or photos on the links sent. Other than those minute problems, the ride was excellent, well thought out, well marked out and enjoyable. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
