My first sportive and I have to say it was great. I was a tad nervous before hand but I have to say this was a really well organised event with friendly staff, a beautiful route on quiet roads and good food stops, with a nice meal at the end. I will definetly do this event next year and will now look out for other Sportives in or near my area of Bishops Stortford. Thank you Icycles

Well organised event. I only marked it down for the route as I thought there were too many long B road sections; I would have preferred more use of quieter lanes.

The scenery was outstanding and the service was very good, it was my first sportive so not sure what to expect, but I do think if I had known the course was this extreme in hills I would not have entered. I felt it was quite misleading

very well run event, food at the stations became a little sparce for stops 2& 3 and some of the signs at major junctions had gone missing, which for a non garmin rider was a challenge!! but great roads on route, would defintely do it again with I cycle :-)

One of the best organised rides I've done. Excellent signage (I have been known to miss signs before but had no problem on the Midi).

I signed up for the Maxi but did the midi in the end because I was feeling quite weak. At the end the marshall was more than happy to re-assign my time to the Midi. Very friendly staff all round.

8/10 for food because at the first stop there was a long wait for hot water for the tea so I ended up waiting longer than I would have.

7/10 for Support because I didn't need it so can't say how good it was.

Great weather, great course, lovely countryside, friendly staff/helpers, cracking chicken curry at the finish. All well organised and professional. Feed stops would have got 10 out of 10 if there had been better cakes (but maybe I'm spoiled by club-organized sportives with tons of home bakes)

Great event-my first sportive. Route was demanding but very well thought out and a good test. Wind made this tough going at times though! Very good organisation, staff were very welcoming and friendly. Good to see support bikes throughout the day-glad didn't need them though. Food at all locations was fantastic. Really good even,t will tell friends about this and will happily look at events by this company again.

Well organised, friendly, good signs with useful information. Great to have a bike and medical staff following the route. The food at the end was excellent and such a great way to finish. All in all fantastic value for money

This was such a lovely event. The route took me through some beautiful countryside. The marshals and support staff were excellent, I was very impressed by the feed stations and just had a really fantastic time. This was my first time in a cycling event and I was truly impressed by the support and friendliness of everybody involved, including the other riders. I will definitely look to take part in this event again.
