Great event with a brilliant route options for the individual laps!
Andrew Burgess
Best race of the year!
Even better this year with the slightly revised course. Just need to sort that beach headwind out
Geza-Sebastian Szabo
Best race I have taken part off.
Andrew Atkinson
The course was incredible
There was one bottleneck but that is to be expected with an event of this size.
Maybe could do with a few more toilets
Mark Shepherd
Top day of hard riding
A neutral drinks station end of the lap would have been useful. Even just water so you can top up a bottle. (Yes I lost my 2nd drinks bottle)
Mark Harvey

A great event that has it all - Sun, Sand - and wind :-)
Very well-organised event that has a friendly atmosphere and great location.
Very enjoyable and family friendly event.

Fantastic fun, racing or riding in a memorable location.
Battle on the Beach is an absolute blast. Perfect for those riders who have done some off-road riding and are ready to take part in their first event right through to seasoned pros looking for a season opener. The atmosphere is fun, with great catering and sponsor tents to have a look round at the event hub.

Always an ‘Event’ to really look forward to
Great course and marshalling, weather helped this year, could do with a few breakdown areas with tyre pumps
Stuart Plows
So much more than a bike race!
The uniqueness in the event lies in the planning that goes into the weekend. Both my kids race, I race, and my wife loves to see it all. Never does she feel bored, and it’s always the thing that we plan the first quarter of the year around. Thanks all for a great event and the weather was ace! Some extra BOTB bobble hats and mugs to purchase over the weekend would be great, but that’s about my only request.

Hard but enjoyable
Head wind was a killer again this year
Isla Rowntree
I absolutely LOVED it!!! What a fabulous, unique and all round brilliant event.
I put a "maybe" for question 6 because I think such a huge field could be somewhat off-putting for beginners. Nothing can be done about that, just an explanation.

Great course change to cater to the mix of fitness/abilities
Having the split of the laps allowed for the faster riders to concentrate on their race without being bogged down by slower riders whilst on their 2nd lap. The change in course directions also allowed for the laps not to become repetitive. The only consistent part was the beach and unfortunately nobody can control headwinds!
Great work, look forward to another go next year!
