Some of the feed stations were running out off food

It would have been great to have enough gels on the first two feed stations

Sounds daft but too much climbing , and I am a cyclist ... the climbing just felt boring and unnecessary in the end to the point that I actually wouldn't do the event again . Great feed stations and marshalling though

Great ride, feed stations were well placed, although the distance between the Werneth Low and Saddleworth Hotel could have been a bit closer.
Amazing food options and very well signposted route.

Thank you.

Overall great. I missed old Betts this year and thought needed a few more miles. Maybe old Betts then onto Edenfield then Buty heywood return dor the northern manc ? Also a different medal next year or colour ?

A great sportive, a real mixture of everything.

Only area for improvement for me would be to have more sports nutrition at the feed stops. I felt sick from all the cake

A fantastic cycling event supporting great charities. Challenging routes, well sign posted and well marshalled. Well done again Tour de Manc!!.

I did the 100k rather than the 100m. I think the route was better. Full of good climbs.

The volunteers were so friendly, commited and had confidence in them.
They were, as per the previous 3, wonderful. Am humbled.
Thank you so much Paul Bowker

If possible, add more toilets at the first feed stop in particular, as there was a lot of waiting. The last feeds stop is quite close to the one before - I didn't stop there, although I stopped at all the others.
Overall though, really enjoyed it - thanks

Slight confusion when the route id downloaded to my device from TDM website was different on the road. Luckily , the signs en-route where spot on .

Still a few poor road surfaces and odd road choices (very busy traffic through no scenery, pointless loops to add miles...), but overall better than previous years. Challenging and rewarding. Recommended!

Fabulous event again the refreshments stop at saddleworth hotel was excellent
I have done the classic manc twice
This was my first time doing the northern Quarter 50 k was plenty tough haha
Well done everyone see you next year

Need more substantial food at the feed stations OR tell people they need to bring their own.

Marshalling was good - very grateful. Some of the junctions could have benefitted from a marshal, particularly at the top of some of the climbs.

I would recommend starting earlier in the day for the Mad Manc - I would say I’m slight ly above average and today was a write off, we had to divert into the Classic. The climbs are brutal. Were did chase the sun and started at 4am - getting 3 hours traffic free make a massive difference.
