Super combination of a great adventure shared with lots of lovely fellow cyclists.
Terri Filkins
Tough, scenic, great marshalling and brilliant feed stations
Second year of doing this event, would love to encourage more women to take this on.

Great mucky (it is February) day out on the bike
Good testing route, defo not for the untrained. Great feed stations (you can be in and out in 5 mins) and the welcoming beer at the end, together with great food trucks.
Tough ride run marvellously
Christopher Dines
Great route - well organised.

One for the purists!
Loved my first HOTA! Proper bunch of cyclists and not an undertaking prat in sight. Proper riding. Roads were pretty ropey in places but then where in the UK isn’t?
Jill Edmans

It’s called the Hell of Ashdown for a reason
Very well run event, very well stocked food stations.
All the volunteers and support team are super cheerful and always have a friendly smile, which is lovely to see when you have been toiling away on the road.

Great route, great marshalling, great food

Extremely well run event, with great support and feed stations
James Larkman
A tough early season test, but really well organised.
The organisation, in particular the feed stops were really excellent. Everyone involved in the organisation was very friendly. Some of the faster riders are inconsiderate and impatient when passing.
James Smith

Hard, dirty, bumpy ride, but that is what I signed up for! I've done it three years in a row and I'm sure I'll be back again
