I used to enter a lot of events, being a mixture of road (but latterly trail) and then I wrote about them in my blog.
These reviews have been retrieved from the rest of the remnants of that blog and are provided below as I no longer maintain a blog.
Obviously as time passes the reviews get ever older and may not fully represent the same events in more current times. But they should give you a flavour of what the events are like.
At this moment in time I can only get the list to order from earliest to most recent review. Obviously the more recent the review, the more relevant the details probably are as they are less out of date.
