The 2 feed stations were great with a good selection of different foods and plenty of water in the heat and the BBQ at the end in the brewery had a brilliant atmosphere with everyone chatting to everyone else - very friendly. And the route took your breath away - chocolate-box villages and beautiful countryside. A great event that I would recommend to everybody.

First sportive, have previously completed ride London and ride weekly with a club.
So this was a first for me doing a sportive and thoroughly enjoyed.
Great scenery, signage was good, potholes were a little awkward, please have a word with the council to fill them in......
Stopped at the second refreshment stop, everything there that I wanted and needed, toilet, carbon snacks, jelly babies and carbon drink.
If it had been a cold day then tea and coffee would have been needed, but as it was so sunny who cares.
Someone else mentioned it and would be good for future would be a local bike shop with a small gazebo selling parts / clothing etc may work and definitely more toilet facilities.

One big thing missing at the start was fresh cold water, I didnt fill my water bottles up prior to arriving so had to use the sink in the toilets, not an issue but would have preferred a water stand to do this from.

But all said and done a great event well done and will probably do others around the country in the future

Was great to only travel a few miles to a well organised challenging in ka6rts but great as the summer season just starting.

Well placed feed station, just what's needed about half way round.

One challenging hill climb but otherwise punchy undulating route around lovely villages and lanes. Great finish area didn't bother with food but had a welcome cider from the mobile bar.

Perhaps a momento of the day, like a medal or buff built into a cost option maybe.

Will do again and booked already for a couple more.

Did the half pint as a practice for London to Brighton. Was well signposted and a good mix of hills and flat.
Only thing I can think of to improve was to have some people at the finishing line to welcome the riders in as felt a little flat when we finished

This was my first sportive, and an excellent experience. Easy parking at Hook Norton Brewery, and easy registration. And just a couple of minutes behind schedule, and after a safety briefing we were off. I'd downloaded the route to my Garmin but it was well signposted all the way round. Great route, great scenery, and some challenging hills for me a relative novice. Great aid stations at approx 1/3 and 2/3 distance. Water, powders, jelly beans, bars etc. Plenty to keep you going. There's also a first aider and mechanic available but fortunately I needed neither. Arrive back at Hook Norton, signed back in and collected my free beer, a can of IPA. We preferred to buy a couple of points of cask from the stall. Burgers etc were also available but we were happy with just a beer. Wuld happily recommend a Let's Go Velo event based on this experience.

Really enjoyed this event. Pre ride information pack was informative with GPS file of route. A couple of testing climbs otherwise a relatively fast course with some long sweeping downhill sections.

Great organisation made the days cycling great fun with no hassles whatsoever, thanks for a great day.

Great route, on largely quiet country roads with spectacular scenery. Very well organised with a very friendly team. Feed stations were evenly spread across the route with good stocks of food, drink, and toilets. Some people seem to think food provision could be better but i think it was perfectly adeqaute, burger post race was great. Having done numerous sportives, toilet provision is not an uncommon problem just before the start. I dont have tea or coffee before the start but understand why this small charge may annoy some people so maybe include in the entry fee as a number of other sportives do this. Overall a great day,well run and im pleased to see that more events are being added each year. Keep up the good work!

Great all round experience, stunning scenery, ideal refreshment stops.
Lovely to finish with a burger and a beer too! Thanks all!

The stops were good with a good variety of snacks. I particularly appreciated the savoury cheese muffins. The road signage was excellent. I found the full pint a challenging ride with some sharp and sometimes long inclines but all added to the sense of achievement at the end! I would definitely go on this one again.

Nicely put together event, good signage (tho on some corners would have been good to have a turn here rather than a straight ahead sign after the corner), feed stop worked well, and the beer (& reasonably priced) bbq at the end a nice touch. Medical lady v attentive when I appeared dripping a bit of blood…

To think about - toilets - needed some portaloos at the start (or better signage to existing toilets). Charging for tea/coffee felt unnecessary.

Great event. Lovely route, brilliant scenery. Very well organised and a nice size - parking was easy, access was easy and no queue (except for toilet at the start, which was not a massive problem). Signs in the route could be a little difficult to spot at times but again, not a big problem. Some turns at the d were not (obviously) signposted. Great rid though, very friendly. A couple of fiendish hills that got your heart rate up. Ill definitely be back to do it again.

2nd year and it never disappoints
Even as a local, you never tire of the scenery. 1st hill is a little spicy, but good to get your heart rate going.
Will be back next year

Loved this as a first sportive, everyone was super friendly!

Only minor complaint was the BBQ didn’t cater for vegetarians, they had some stuff but would be cooked in the beef fat!

Really enjoyed todays 60 mile ride on the Full Pint. There were several trying hills that seemed to go on a bit longer than was comfortable! The route was really well signposted and the rest stops were appreciated.

Good event. Straightforward route. Hills ok but you need to work up them.

I loved the savoury snack at the second stop of the full pint. If you could share the recipe that would be awesome!
The wrap free energy bars were also ok.

Overall very good, well organised and an interesting and enjoyable route. A few points
You need to sort out the toilet facilities at the brewery. Bring in some portaloos if you have to.
It would be a great gesture to make the coffee and tea free rather than charging £1.
Starting on the slope is especially difficult when you have to clip in. It would be better to bring groups of 20-30 forward at a time and start them on the flat.
