Need to have more close road segements, I know it is difficult but other events such bolton ironman etc. seem to manage

Great sportive had a good ride very challenging

The blue route was informed as yellow route - this was very confusing and most other road signs were also yellow maybe a different colour would have helped. It is not entirely clear what the blue route/Northern Quarter route was. This blue route was not beginner friendly and I will not be recommending to friends or colleagues as this was supposed to be a test run for organising a team. Unfortunately, I will be not recommend this sportiv and it is not value for money. It seems the blue ride was jammed into the yellow ride with no thought given that blue ride was actually a level harder than advertised. Blue route was not the leisurely ride expected. Most of the route did not have signage for blue ride only at the end in Rochdale and start and it was not entirely clear when arriving back where to go. Very disappointed!

Great route

GPX and signs didn’t match up which led to lots of confusion for many people.

Good new challenge route, felt a bit sketchier with the cars which may be because of the later start time or more spread out bikes

Challenging route for true beginners but we all enjoyed it a lot . Thank you to all of the volunteers and organisers. :)

Really good event! I heard someone at the finish moaning about the sign posting but honestly it was really really good flawless goes to show you can’t please everyone, defo be back and a lot I spoke to had done it the previous years

A well organised event however as this was an open road event most of the roads were very busy which took away some of the enjoyment but all in all I can't fault it, thank you

I blindly turned right towards Manchester even though I was doing the Manc Challenge, not realising the route has changed. I prefer the original route that goes through Salford and South Manchester, I went that way and did an impromptu 100km route of my own.

From newbies to veterans, there's a well-organised challenge for everyone. A sporting event, a social event, a charity event and community event all rolled up in a true Manchester experience. Love it!

Please give distances in miles as well as kilometres. I work in miles and I found it very confusing.

Great setup as usual and very clear signage.

Volunteers are brilliant.
Saddleworth food stop superb.
Marl pits stop not the best but did the job.
Great event . Thank you
