“Excellent ride - The water station was off the track area so we had to stop, walk to the table, open ice box, spilt a pack of water, get a bottle out and then back to the track...so lost time! :( In previous events there have been people handing out water at a convenient place so you could cycle on or pause, but off the track and self service to get water...uuum Not a spoiler as the event as always was great! look forward to the next build ups and easy water!!”

“Great race & organization - start arrangement bad! - Pleases change the starting arrangement where participants have to clime over the concrete barrier to find the last place in the queue. Thanks!”

“Bike handling skills - Great morning ride and well organized - thanks. It would be useful if all were emailed on general bike handling tips that may well prevent accidents. eg. Do not ride on drops in the peleton. Keep hands close to brakes. Expect the unexpected! Eat and drink out of the peleton - its not a race and a dropped bottle will cause chaos! Cheers George Doherty”

“Event suggestion - Well organised, just one suggestion: Next build up ride please communicate clear when we need to move to the start point - confusing occurd for 1st timers with Dubai Roadsters group departing”

“Well done, a nice build up ride - Very well done, however a short briefing at the start would have been nice. Number of laps, ride on the right, pass left etc”

“Good race - really enjoyed it - Really enjoyed my first race. When the main group of cyclists came flying past the second time they covered nearly the whole track and do think they should keep to left side a little more as no room to move for slower cyclists despite the fact that they were cycling as close to the right side of the fence as they could get (only for safety). Whole event really well organised and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend future participation to friends.”

“Communication and organization were great - First time I've entered such a race so I don't have anything to compare with but from communication about the race, to the timing system and organization on the day, everything was very well done.”

“Very well organized - A great initiative to build everyone up for the 92km event. Looking forward to the next practice. PS. I ordered a L t-shirt for my son for this event but never collected it.”

“Good group, all ervy friendly - The organisers need to alert beginners / new riders about staying to the right. Several slower riders got completely swallowed by the larger groups lapping them - often this caused panic and a lurch to the margins - when surrounded by a group it was dangerous at times. Otherwise superb event.”

“A very good event - Results are still missing on both Premier Online and Cycling Challenge. Only available on Championchip website but with no option to sort results ”

“Well organised event. - The event started promptly with little confusion. The registration process was straightforward and easy with little queuing on the day. The time chip feedback was prompt and online data was detailed. ”

“Much enjoyed well organised event, thanks! - My only criticism is that I didn't see any signage to tell me that the start line was a bit of a walk away. And the start was delayed a bit.”

“Great atmosphere, great event - Great event, a bit messy in the beginning. No signage about chip collection. Would have expected a free coffee at the end...”

“I was there. - Was there but couldn't participate due to an injury sustained last night. Wife enjoyed it though. From a spectator's perspective the slow riders to the right, overtaking on the left, did not seem well observed. ”

“Does what is says on the tin - A short ride at a perfect stage for the build up. Many of the ratings above should have n/a as they are not relevant.”

“Nice event, but road surface could get better - It was a nice and well organised event, as usual with the team. The asphalt in some areas on the track was not so good. Although in general it is ok, receiving earlier emails about refurbishment just completed, I was expecting a perfect surface. ;-)”

“Very well organised and supported - good start to - Only minor criticism would be to have a more regulated start. Even though the riders are told "that it's not a race" everyone still starts off like a bat out of hell so a regulated start with groupings separated by a short period may help.”

“A great start to the Spinneys D92 activities! - An all round excellent event - nice to see that some of the issues raised last year seem to be addressed and great to see the course for the D92 already. Great timing too - getting a text with time seconds after crossing the line is a nice touch!!”

“Great. - Great organising, really enjoyed the ride, although I don't think that such a short event can be a proper criterion to judge. But overall, I would say it was perfect! ”
