Agree with the your review, some tough walls on the way back and changing weather made it challenging!
The highlights are definitely food + volunteers, food was different at every control and super tasty and volunteers were incredible at looking after us, filling our bottles, giving cutlery to people, sun cream available etc ... Top event and glad I picked it as the 600 in my SR!

Yeah, what a great event! Wasn't impressed with some of the road surfaces, mind. My left hand's gone numb again. Was concerned I was eating too much on the way to Chester.
Had a great outward leg. Was flying and it was by far my fastest 300, but at the turn I got really tired and slowed right down. Got an hour's kip, but then the wind arrived. And then rain followed by arse pain. Made it back fine though. My first SR and also PBP qualified.

Well done and congratulations.
I found that pretty tough going at times with the weather so chapeaux for doing it fixed.
Pretty sure I heard 'nicely rolling route' previously where I felt it was less rolling and more straight up lumpy at points!
I got two hours in a bed (1 hour sleep) and finished with only an hour to spare. I spent too much time in controls than I normally would, but it was well worth it, at times I felt like a mini-tour seeing friends.
The food was excellent, I only got my wallet out once all weekend to buy an ice-cream and you can't praise the volunteers enough, I thought they were the making of this ride.
