Great way to visit the area and see the scenery.

Issuing of he numbers on the day was a bit disorganised - didn't realise there was 3 different places to collect them and they were too close to the start as it was difficult to make your way through the people waiting for numbers. Some of the direction cards were difficult to see in advance of the turn.

Brilliant and scenic bike ride

Absolutely loved this bike ride. This is the second year in a row I have done it and I’ll be back next year.
The organisation and venue were brilliant, tough in parts, or should I say challenging!! but thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks very much to all the volunteers and organisers.

Great chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Northumberland coast

The addition of the coffee vans at the start and the food stop were great

It was our first time at this event. The organisation was fantastic, we needed to transfer from 2025 to 2026 and the administration was second to none. The course was well marked and tje scenary was awsome!

The volunteers were supportive and helpful! Great goody bag and magic coffee!
We will be back.
Liz and Henry from Doncaster!

Great event

I had to abandon the event after a few miles to to an unrepairable mechanical. Wild Deer contacted me at the end of the event as I hadn't handed in my No to see if I was ok... Very nice of them to do so

Brilliant Event

The only thing was the signage placement particularly on main road roundabouts could have been better and signs were a little small. Otherwise an outstanding event.

Great day out

Registration and sign in could be improved
100 mile riders register first allow them to get on way?
Pre register sat night a possibility?
Minor complaints definitely worth a, 4 hour trip from Lincolnshire

Beautiful setting for a friendly course

Need to sort the registration out. Far too much standing around at the start to collect numbers.
Also a bit confusing to see where to exit the carpark at the end with our vehicles due to the people, bikes and barriers with banners on.
Just minor things on an otherwise excellent event

Great experience

This was my very first event, so it’s likely down to me, however the only feedback would be clearer and better positioned directional signs. That’s my only critique of the day, as it has been a fantastic day, very well organised, great value and something I would love to do again. Thank you for the brilliant day.

Superb sportif. Well signposted, lots of lovely food and drink provided.

Not a complaint. This was a fabulous day out. I had an issue with my tyre and sought assistance to remove tyre (I had inner tube, pump etc, just not sufficient strength to get tyre off). I was told mechanic was too far away and to ask other riders for help. I didn’t want do that as it would hole others back. A very kind paramedic called Stevie assisted but I was disappointed that although advertised, mechanical support was not available. Still a great sportif

Brilliant!

My first ever cycling event having only ever done running events previously. It won’t be my last. Great event which I cycled with my club, the Wansbeck Wheelers.
