Many thanks for all the emails and messages on the
forum, it makes all the work worthwhile. This is a sample of the
emails we received.
First off, congratulations on a really well organized event. This
200 is the 4th 'sportive' event I have done in 2010, and it was
easily the biggest and best organized. It would not be fair to compare
this years versions to previous as this year was streaks ahead in
terms of organization and support (the marshals deserve special
mention)
The route, noticeable harder then previous years, the loss of the
Wicklow Gap (a personal favorite of mine) was disappointing, but
the stretches around Rathdrum and Avoca made up for it.
The only downer was the road surface quality, I know having ridden
in Wicklow for the last 6 years that it comes with the territory,
but it is honestly the only thing holding the w200 back form being
one of the best cycling events on the European calendar, and with
the incredible popularity of sportive events, it should be something
even Board Fatlie should look at.
Great job guys
Chris
