LAST EVENT FEEDBACK REVIEW - 27 March 2022
I traveled to the event from Manchester to experience cycling in the Mendip Hills. I was not disappointed. In addition to great/challenging climbs, there was the opportunity to see Glastonbury tor and Wells. Great stuff. Friendly and well-organised event. steven butterworth
