I didn't fill in a comment slip today, so I thought I'd send a quick email. My wife, kids and and I had a great time today. Everything was very well organised. The routes were ideal - the hard challenge certainly lived up to its name. The meal in the Ardshiel was superb. I had expected a small, cold buffet!
The atmosphere was superb and everyone I spoke to felt the day was a great success. Thank you for all the hard work.
Some wee suggestions... the signs towards the end could have perhaps have been a little larger and clearer, particularly for those not from Campbeltown. In publicity, I would make it clear what a fantastic meal is provided.
Anyway, thanks again. I hope you both had a chance to enjoy the day.
Congratulations on a successful and superb event! My family enjoyed it tremendously – the weather helped! It was well organised and a great atmosphere. Thank you for all your help and wishing you all the best with future events.
You can count us in for next year.

Well organised and good hotel facilities – could improve route signposting around Southend area.

Good event – maybe an off road section or route for MTB’s only next year? Great marshalling etc.

Excellent day – just make sure all the hills are down next time . Ardshiel did you proud.

Well done on a very good inaugural event. Thoroughly enjoyed it, well thought out route and nice to have a rest stop and banana!! Hope you have found it to be a success and that its well supported next year.
33 hard good course – needs signed at Stewarton non locals – a couple of people turned right back into town. Plenty of Hi Viz signs. Great hospitality at Ardshiel. Applications on entry central. People enter but don’t always turn up – but they pay up front. Consider earlier in year. More people would travel, make it part of the holiday. Good on you all for organising this event.
As a member of the Mid Argyll Club I can honestly say no matter what time of year you hold it you will always have support from Mid Argyll ( we never wind down up here!! we are always looking towards the next event )
It's ' your' event so you choose a date to suit you. I know what you are saying about avoiding school holidays but you will never be able to please everyone.
The scenery was just breathtaking in the sunshine (biased, I know, but true). I had just forgotten how many bl**** (bloomin) hills there were

oh no worries, as long as they are all linked together should be fine, speaking of which if you have facebook there are a few more photos of the other rides/riders here http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/256310247718667/Apologies, I forgot about the original thread in the MOKBIKE forums but have now merged this and changed the heading a little bit to highlight the photos are here.
