The whole event had a tired feel to it IMO . Little atmosphere at the campsite , all distances shorter than they were supposed to be and the riding wasn't that great .

Well that's 1 negative review out of the 20 or so that I've heard so I don't think it'll be putting me off any time soon

I agree with your campsite comment's,but I guess you cant have the cherry and the bun and its hard to please all the riders. and to be fair someone moved the markers on the 50k course, but if you read the breifing notes all distances are approx,, I wonder what you call great riding, I throught the 80k couse had everything you could want from great single track, long fast desents,,, plenty of tech stuff,, and all the riders I spoke really loved it. sorry you didnt

Well I did the '50' and had a good day out. However the woodland singletrack was extremely gloopy and not much fun to ride. However those sections were a minority of the ride and the rest was fantastic. I think the 50 diverted  away from all the other routes so maybe some of the singletrack was exclusive to it? Also we reckon the organisers made last minute changes (probably cos of the state of the singletrack). There was a point where an attractive lady signed the 50k riders left, but apparently if we'd gone right then it would have been the full distance.
