Excellent organisation
Excellent location
Just brilliantly

I love going to BOTB! Matt and the team always make us feel welcome. The facilities are superb, the venue is fantastic.
Slightly frustrating when you have to queue behind people who can't ride a simple piece of single-track or two but all in all a brilliant day out!

Once again brilliant. The best atmosphere, brilliantly organised and a real party weekend. We love brining the Whitchurch Massive every time. Really enjoyed the talks on the Saturday, proper inspiration. Will be back again in 2026

Maybe a women’s specific group ride

My first time and I loved it. Hopefully won't be suffering from a cold next year. Pity about the lap 1 bottleneck but not sure how you will ever fix this

This event should always tried by any serious about racing off road, whether you race MTB, CX, Gravel or even road

1st lap single track blockages. Is there a way to do the 1st lap on wide open tracks before lap 2 and 3 using the single track more. Or up and back down the beach like last year storm addition that way could spread out more riders with less blockages

Awesome event... absolutely mega.

My 2nd year and I will be back. Stunning scenery, awesome event with a great atmosphere. Battle in the dark was such a great set up for the Sunday race. Can’t wait until Next year.

Can't recommend this enough. Fun and challenging and incredibly friendly event

The beach was ace not as scary I I'd thought as it was hard to get dropped if you worked hard. So glad I used my hard tail MTB with rigid forks as once off the beach I continually overtook gravel bikes where the riders couldn't handle the bumpy gravel or the sand dunes.
The best off road race I've done for uniqueness. Thanks

Made me smile from start to finish

Well organised, course is evolving every year to accommodate riders of all abilities
Up to the minute timing, now iconic and one of the “ must do “ races on the calendar
