I am sure you will be inundated with messages - well I should hope you are - what a fantastic event you organised! Can't even imagine what it takes to organise such an event but it showed. The set up at the start/finish was great, the route was
- [24](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/24/) - I had a fantastic day, thanks. I hope all the other riders had similar and you had a successful event. Brasted Hill then straight back down Hogtrough after 95k was pure sadism!
- [23](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/23/) - I wanted to thank you and your team for organising today’s HOTA. What a great event. Of course we were lucky with the weather but both I and my companions - all of whom have done HOTA in the past - thought it was really well organised, the feed stations were great and the new
- [22](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/22/) - Firstly thank you for the amazing weather! What a day. I could have cycled all day, best days cycling this year… Secondly, a fabulous sportive - I’ve done this before and thought the organisation and support were sublime. Even when the volunteers ran out of coffee and milk at the first feed station they were

- [20](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/20/) - Just to say congrats on a super event yesterday. Everyone was buzzing about how well organised it was, the start and finishes at the Brewery (great location/facility), the quality of the feed stations and road markings to name a few things. And you even organised the weather! Well done to you and team.
- [19](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/19/) - I just wanted to thank you again for yesterday. My first cycling event and it was MEGA. You nailed the organisation, route (but Brasted was a total B*tch), food, markings, on route guides and a brewery finish felt totally appropriate, plus even the weather came out! I have had a tiny insight into organising much
- [18](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/18/) - Congratulations for putting on a fantastic event yesterday. My first time in the Kent hills and it was awesome! We all had a great day out and everyone at La Squadra finished without problems. I think one of the guys had a puncture and that’s it ! It was a great route with some wonderful
- [17](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/17/) - Thanks for letting me know and i would just like to say a few words about yesterdays event. I have done lots of sportives in the UK as well as abroad, and i must say with regard to the variety of food at the feed stations, you excelled yourself. I am not a vegetarian myself

- [15](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/15/) - Thank you for an excellent event yesterday, and great weather! Excellent setup/parking/catering at the start/finish. Great directions out on the course as well, and I could see that the gravelly part of my local road was swept clear in the nearside verge. Brasted Hill was too steep for me at the end – so I

Anyway, thanks to all the marvellous marshalls and helpers and organisers, a real pleasure, and if this is to be my
- [6](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/6/) - First of all, can I congratulate you on a really wonderful event, the course was spectacular, some of those winding "tracks" .. they could not be classified as roads!!! Were amazing, the combination of hills exhausting even to a seasoned 62 year old climber like me. I think you might have missed out a further

It must have been huge amount of work. If you and the team have a 'mop up' review please do give them our thanks. My son Stephen beat me to the
- [](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/860/) - Thank you to you and all the organisers for a great day in the sunshine yesterday…. It was well organised and marshalled, a cracking route with scenic views and sufficient bite in the profile to make it hurt a bit! The beer and frittes at the end were also extremely welcome! Looking forward to next

- [One](https://www.helloftheashdown.cc/testimonial/one/) - I just wanted to commend you on putting on such a good event on Sunday. It was very well organised and the feed stops were just next level. I wish I was there just to eat! The signage was excellent too. Lots of friendly faces and even the "clear right" shout offered up by the
