Well organised, friendly ride in perfect weather.
Needed a little better control of traffic etc at the finish line, as there was potential conflict between non-cycling park users and the finishing riders.
Location of finish line was poor.

2- timing system was quick and easy to use.
3- plenty of signs the whole way around and lots of encouraging signs to go with them.
4- ample parking and plenty of toilets.
5- lots of support on the whole, all the marshals and local spectators.
