    Event testimonials

    “Just a quick one to say thank you very very much for putting on a proper road race. It was really well organized from start to finish and from a riders perspective I always felt very safe on the roads. There are few races on the calendar that compare to this one and although the final climb got the better of me I would rather the terrain sort out the field than have 60 guys at the finish all thinking they are Mark Cavendish.

    “Thanks again and hope to see you again next year,”
    John Skates

    “I will be back next year for sure a very good event. A hard course and well run. Thank you for a good day.”
    Gareth Rees

    “Thank you to you and your club for organising another well run event. Hope to see you next year.”
    Jeff Vernon - Birkenhead North End
