Another well organised enjoyable day. Next year the weather must get better and i will get a bigger crowd to join us. Lunch stop at newton very welcome and well stocked. Could have done with a couple of extra drink stops on the route. Marshals were cheerful and friendly despite enjoying the same weather as us. At least we could pedal to keep warm. Thanks for all the hard work to those who organised it all.

Potentially very enjoyable, though Bigland Hill and the descent after lunch were tough. Given the rain and wind, the marshals were very supportive and helpful. I missed one arrow so took one wrong turning ( in Grange)

Fantastic all round and lots of money goes to charity (the only one I don't know about is "Support" so I've put 10 out of 10 same as my other 8 scores so it doesnt distort my overall rating - perhaps Cyclosport could have a "Don't know" option for this one - just because I didn't see the support doesn't mean it wasn't there sweeping up at the back!)

This would be a glorious and testing ride but it needs the weather. Maybe later in the year would be better. It can be pretty temperamental in the Lakes in early Spring.

Well organised, marshals were great, helpful and friendly, the route had it all ups, down and twisty bits and the food station was a god send! Will be back next year.

For a novice rider, just off stabilisers, this was an excellent and challenging ride. The marshalls were unfailingly polite and encouraging and the hot=pot pie and cabbage at the end to die for!

Very well organised, friendly event, once again let down by rotten weather!
The first third of the course does stick to main roads and could probably be improved a little, but the middle third is the highlight, with a few decent climbs and nice scenery.
Very well-marshaled and the signage was very good, though it was a little confusing in places as similar signs from another event appeared in several places.
A really good event.

Excellent organisation, excellent feed stops, excellent signposting, challenging route but not insanely hard. The only thing not to like was the weather.

Excellent event that I would thoroughly recommend. Water was a bit scarce at the feed stations though.

I was the oldest rider in the Bay Dash. At 74 I was all of 9 years older than anyone else riding. It appears that only of 7 of the 100 who finished this event were over 60. I found it hard going and was slower than most. Maybe the age gap is beginning to tell?

However, I thought that this event was extremely well organised and to those who turned out to help in those wet and miserable conditions I offer my heart felt thanks. A gradey ride this one - well done Rotary Club of Lancaster.

There were one or two times when I had to slow down and think long and hard about the signs - sometimes they would hit you late, or sometimes they would be inconclusive - do I go straight on, or go left - the signs were sometimes a bit in the middle, which can cause quite a panic!
But overall, I loved the event. The food was lovely - just what I needed after a long cold ride, and the showers nice and hot. Also easily accessible. Will do this again.

A really great event. Has to be one of the best organised sportives. Way signs and marshalls were peerless. Thanks.
