This is a great event with three routes covering three distances and elevations. Run by the community rather than a professional companyr the event has a fruendly, community feel while still being very well organised. It would be good to offer an alternative to the free water bottle as I now have quite a collection! Love the flapjacks.

A truly memorable event. My first time and it will definitely be an annual event for me. I completed the Classic 100. The scenery was incredible and the views from the top of the world were spectacular. It had enough tough sections to make it challenging and provide a sense of achievement but wasn’t ott. Brilliant organisation -a real feeling of genuine warmth and friendship.

Top marks to the Haydon Bridge community trust for organising this event. That it is organised and run on the day by so many dedicated volunteers is testimony to the spirit of the local community and a real sense of welcome I felt as a cyclist from away participating in the event.

The route itself was well planned, challenging in terms of vertical assent but not too taxing in terms of gradients. The feed stations were well positioned and the flapjacks excellent.

I'll definitely be back to do it again

My friend and I took part in the 100km (although in the past I have also completed the short and long routes). From start to finish, the volunteers and marshals were welcoming and supportive and dotted around the route in strategic places. Feed stations were well stocked with delicious flapjacks! The toilets at Nenthead are the cleanest I’ve ever seen! The hills are certainly a challenge but the scenery is beautiful. Very wet for us so can I order sunshine for next time please?

We have been entering the Haydon Hundred since its very first event through all weathers and temperatures ! It has encouraged us to get out on our bikes and the scenery is amazing in this special part of Northumberland. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and the skill and determination of the more experienced riders never ceases to amaze us!

Great welcome when signing on, upon completion and also at the feed stations en route. Next year I will keep my phone/camera handy to snap the great views along the way. The £7 voucher to to spend in the village is a bonus - I spent mine in the cafe (across the old bridge, next door to the chippy). Thank you to the organisers and volunteers who make this such a special event.

The only thing missing for me was the chance of a hot drink at the feeding stations. But I don't know how they would manage that anyway.

The organisers do such a brilliant job putting this together you really get the sense it’s community driven. The route is challenging but it’s well thought out with feed stations along the way. Thank you to the organisers who make this such a brilliant day out no matter the weather conditions.

Great route. Well organised. Helpful volunteers and a lovely pork sandwich at the end. I'll be back next year.

Super friendly organisers and marshalls with great feed stations. What's not to like and the beer and music festival was a great way to finish the day.

This is a simply stunning route on extremely quiet roads. Great organisation and a lovely hog roast treat at the end of…..

Great ride, feed stations excellent. Certainly do it again. And very cheap to enter. Worth the entry fee just for the flapjacks.
Well done to all involved in organising it.

I lost my van key! Somewhere

This is one of the best organised sportives that I have done in many years. I'll be back next year, but I only if you don't order the rain.

Great organisation and communication in the lead up to the event. Extremely friendly volunteers at the start, end and en-route. Great scenery even in less than perfect weather this year and of course plenty of climbing! Delicious and plentiful home made flapjacks, bananas and drinks at feed stations. All in all a great event!

Fantastic day out, even with the few showers that hit us. Overall the course was a fantastic route, very hilly ride with some great descents, fantastic scenery. The feed stations were very well accommodating with flapjacks etc. The salted caramel one was very delicious

Everyone really friendly. Well organised and very well sign-posted. The 140k ride was hard and very hilly but the views, even with imperfect weather, were fantastic.
