Really enjoyed the event. Worth the trip from Cornwall where believe you me the roads are as rough. The closed road section was brilliant (I''ve ridden the Etape due Tour and traffic free roads are a blast!). The route was great, I always bring the bike when visiting the island and only usually manage 70 miles around the coastal route so to get a century meant I could be guided around the scenic inland lanes as well. Great, friendly atmosphere. Cheers guys! See you next year!!!

I really enjoyed the closed road section. It was tougher than I expected and one of the best sportives I did this year.

The closed road section was a novelty but soon completed. I wasnt that smitten with the rest of the ride - for a relatively small island we didnt see that much of the sea, and the roads were pretty rough going - I'm sure I've got a few loose fillings now! Not helped by a pretty miserable day -cold,damp and windy, First food stop was ok - second just appeared to be the timing map and some water. Overall an OK event but not sure I would go through the aggro of such a long day - early start, ferry, wait around for start, hard ride, limited food option at end, ferry and long drive home
