“Great event. Suggestions for (hopefully) future rounds - 1) Make it a monthly event 2) Make it 1hr 20min + 1 lap. When time expires, have a bell for the final "race" lap - everyone then "should" be clear as to the end of the race 3) Have a "track shower" set up which you can ride through if you choose :)”
“Well done Stu and thanks to the whole team for your hard work!”
“When's the next one? Can you make this a series?”
“Great event. The breakfast tent was a nice touch for the spectators. Would love to see this event run on a regular basis.”
“An ankle band to secure the timing chip would be better than the bike attachment. It wasn't easy for me to attach it but I had a volunteer at the venue who kindly did it for me. Also I bought an attachment fixture for my son when I registered. I didn't know he didn't need it for the family ride and registration system allowed me to add it and pay for it!!! Also it would be nice to have timing break downs for everyone.”
“Good event spoilt by confusion on the bell lap”
“The Crit was a fun and friendly event - very understated and well organised... Only question was how the climbs and the headwind conspired to be in the same place at the same time! I'll be back if this event is held again. ”
“Top class. Fantastic track. Well organized. Thanks to Stewart and also all the Spinneys people that helped, and looking forward to more.”
“Pretty good”
““Not a rant, yet the confusion at the finish for the Group A racers caught us all by surprise. We crossed the start/finish line with time on the clock everyone expected to complete one last lap. The "5 minute" horn was likely sounded whilst we were on the back side of the course, thus there was no last lap advice. There would have been an exciting bunch sprint at the finish :-) Otherwise, nice event, really like the long course and would like to see these races more frequently. ””
“.A Too many ctyclists overlapped in group B.Once overlapped they should stay clear of tha track when overtaken by the main group.A lot of times they were just in the path and very slow. In the final sprint the first in the group overlapped a slower group and it was something not very neat,could not understand anymore who was overlapped and who was leading . I would suggest to have a safety car running in front of the group with a loudspeaker to clear the way and monitor for irregularities. good logistical support. Great idea, very safe environment where there's no space for smart guys to cheat,the road is always big enough to prevent accidents never felt in dangerous situation. And at the end the guys that won the prices were actually the best that day,there alwys enough room to try to escape or cath the brakeaway. To be absolutely continued.”
