Wow, what an awesome event!

Very well organised, location was fantastic, course was epic and a great atmosphere everywhere! Loved the race format of 3 different routes back to the start to reduce the bottlenecks, that was a winner! My only gripe would be that unless you're gridded and you're a fast rider, there's no chance of catching the lead group. Lined out for a wide beach start would be much better in my opinion.

Unique racing experience

Having 3 laps differ off the beach was a great idea.

The queue on the way in to the forest appeared a lot longer this year. Great event thanks.

Exellent routes per lap

Difficult to do, but maybe sort out a way to stop backup onto single track. But still a great event

Everyone I know says this is their favourite event. That ranges from pros to racers to club riders.

The start should be on the beach if you’re going to reduce seeding so much. Having to get down the front an hour before isn’t good.

Fantastic event!

I've been doing this event ever year since it started, and I've always comeback for more as its such a unique experience. Can't wait for the next one.

Incredibly fun course and race format, well worth the money. Entertainment, food stalls, stands provided a great atmosphere.

Long queue time for battle in the dark, perhaps gauge interest in entry then seed riders to avoid faster riders coming up behind slower, less confident riders, in the dark too. Potentially some zig zags or corners coned out on beach for first lap to prevent large dangerous group and huge bottleneck off beach.

Very nice race, especially the single tracks/forest sections.

Thank you for helping me to search for another bike. I broke mine before the battle in the dark and the organizer helped us to find a new one (Windover). Without this I would have come to Wales from Belgium for nothing.

Brilliant Event

Heavy congestion at entry to single track lap1 doesn't lose you position but loses >5 minutes.
80+ category give all those in their 70s some hope for the future. Having a 70+ cat has bought your entries up from 3 of us 7 years ago to 13 this year try to keep everyone going, you'll be there sooner than you think.

Great experience, festival vibe and fun ride!

The course is really something to experience for all types of riders. You can make it a hard as you want but you will almost certainly enjoy it!

Great event which was well organised. Friendly and encouraging marshalls, great atmosphere but a shame the lager ran out by the time I got to the bar. More lager next year please.

Most fun you can have with your clothes on!

A fantastic event that could only be made better by offering camping the night after the race
