Yeah I was there. Absolutely loved it! Never been to the area before but thought it was superb scenery and terrain. Some of the roads weren't the best (I think we hit every set of traffic lights in the region, and some of the roads before the first feed stop were quite busy and got congested as people ground up the short sharp climbs), but overall I massively enjoyed it.
After slogging around in the wind and rain in the winter, it was nice to be reminded why I got into cycling!
