Maybe I was expecting more from this ride. but given its location I should have seen this. As above too much tarmac riding for my liking, it was just getting interesting when another road section came up and took my enjoyment out of it.
The roadies who where MTB'ers for a day enjoyed it
Also the dual section loop where you went up around the village then back down the same track, dh was a bit scary meeting the other riders on a single track as you gained momentum dh, was a bit fun
The last feed stop was a bit like a F1 pit-stop, the roadies skidding in grabbing handful of flapjack then peddling off again, I soon overtook them on the dirt soon after
