The full pint had some tough climbs but enjoyable, especially finishing in a quality brewery!

I enjoyed the first Braybrooke Sportive.

The route was well signed and about right in terms of challenge on the longer route.

What made this Sportive very good is the location of the start and finish. Being at a nice modern brewery it meant that riders families could join them after the event and have good food and drink options. There was plenty of space for kids and dogs and made a change from the usual village hall.

The only things that could be improved would be a medal at the end and maybe not taking riders through the centre of Market Harborough towards the end.

All in all though a great day out.

Have lived in the area for 3yrs, and hadn't ridden over 50% of the roads on the full pint route – the team did a great job mapping this one out. Will certainly be keeping my eye out for future events.

I always recommend these to my cycling friend

Great brewery venue and a great route through picturesque rolling Leicestershire countryside. Great goodies at the fee station. The jelly babies were a particular treat, as were the Chocolate ‘Brownlees’!

Great atmosphere, well-organised event, with excellent beer and food afterwards. My only suggestion would be to review the elevation figures, as the route was closer to 4,500ft than the advertised 3,300ft. It may be worth using Garmin for route planning to provide more accurate elevation estimates.

Loved the atmosphere, the laid back vibes. Would recommend especially if it's your first sportive. Great event and well run.

A really great sportive with a super brewery partner. Both LGVs and Braybrooke’s team are just the most friendly and supportive bunch. Really hope this event returns for next year.

Really well stocked feed zones even on a really hot day, plenty of water and food to restock with.

Possibly in start line briefing mention to keep left on the narrow country lanes and be aware of faster riders passing on the right from behind and other cyclists not in the event coming the other way as it is a very popular area for cyclists.

Can't wait to try more Let's Go Velo events! My only criticism... refreshment stop could have been a bit earlier in the route. Other than that it was a great atmosphere. Signage was brilliant! Best i have seen. Organisers really cared about your experience and the venue was brilliant. I will be coming back next year to beat my time!

Really enjoyed it, nice brewery and great beer. Very well organised. I don’t think this would be right for a complete beginner as some fitness is needed. Not too many hills, rolling countryside roads. Only thing I would say is I thought I had missed the first stop as we were told this would be around 30km but it ended up being at 40km. Everything well signposted, hopefully you will run this again and a few more in the midlands.

It was more hilly than expected which made it much more challenging but it was great fun!
