IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Bostin Diablo Sportive – 5 May 2019

Great ride out and great support. Thanks a lot and see you for the next one.

A fantastic day out! Thank you to everyone for making it a thoroughly enjoyable event! See you at the next one. 🚴🏻‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A brutal day on the bike on the gold route, character building at its best with the hills, wind and rain but a fantastic event! Marshals were brilliant, signage fab and a relief to see you all still there when we finally crossed that line. Please pass on our thanks to everyone 🚴‍♀️💪🏻

Well organised good feed stations and reasonable priced. The volunteers are brilliant

Another great Sportive, thanks to everyone involved in the organising and doing the various tasks. All done with a smile and safely for all.
Had a great morning ride and really enjoyed the route.

Thank you to everyone who help organise and support this event take a well earned day off. Just a shame I was not up to the gold route today managed to get around the silver just

Great views on the gold route at the #VyrnwyVelo today. Thanks for a really well organised ride!

Great route guys
Hot dogs bloody lovely, post ride to quell that essential sugary mush in the gut👌

I rode the silver route yesterday and just wanted to say a big thank you to the marshals, stewards and people manning the feed stations. Without exception a friendly, helpful bunch and that's much appreciated.

The route itself was great - some beautiful scenery and a really good mix of hills and descents. We were blessed with decent weather too!

The event was really well organised, signposting was perfect...

Was a great event. Really well organised as always. Good route, very clear signage too. Looking forward to #bostinvyrnwy

Thank you for a really well organised event today, signage and feed stations were excellent. I'll definitely be back for more in the future!

Thanks for an excellent event, a really challenging Gold route. Really well organised, very good route signs, great food. See you for the Brewood and Newport rides .

First time on this route and loved. Well organised and very friendly event helpers/volunteers. Will definitely be back next year 👍

First Sportive complete.@BostinRide was amazing. Amazing route, amazing views in the Peak District & amazed I did it. 65 miles in 4.5 hours.

Really enjoyed the Gold route, definitely see you in June. The views were amazing today. One of my favourite sportives. Well done to all involved, fab day. 😃

Another great sportive. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to do them again next year.

Great ride guys. Really enjoyed.

A really big “thank you” to Ian and his team. I was navigationally challenged today and ended up riding 150km. Don’t ask! When I passed through the Penkridge feed station for the second time, the marshals were packing away. But, they gladly fed and watered me and sent me on my way. And, not before phoning ahead to say that I was still out on the route. I really appreciate the concern you all showed for my safety. I made it back in time for medal and hot dog, so all was not lost. Thank you!!! 😊😎🚵🏼‍♂️🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Awesome day

Great route and as I had no idea where I was I appreciated the great signage 👍🏻⬅️⬆️➡️

Really enjoyed taking part...hope we raised lots for them! Friendly staff, loads of nice munchies and drinks..will consider doing another Bostin ride soon..thanks so much.

Bostin’ rides are quickly becoming my favourite events. They’re brilliantly run, incredibly friendly and a pleasure to ride. Yesterday’s was extra special. Well done to everyone who made it possible - I hope you’ll run it again next year.

My first time riding this event loved it 🚴👌 cracking route well organised ended up doing over 100 miles after finishing Gold route and cycling back home to Walsall just a fab day all round 🚵‍♀️😊👍

Good route, well organised, signing was excellent given the other sportives on the road today. The hot dog at the end is always welcome.

Yeh another great event. Thank you so much. All 4 this year have been so well organised and great fun

Another great Sportive, thanks to everyone involved in the organising and doing the various tasks. All done with a smile and safely for all. Had a great morning ride and really enjoyed the route.

Thank you to everyone involved - your signage is second to none. Another ‘Bostin’ ride.

Hello, just wanted to say thanks for organising this sportive, it was my first and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Not a bad return for an old fella' beating some of the young bucks!!
Hopefully see you next year for the Spring one

Another fabulous day, thanks very much, always friendly and so well organised. See you at the Peaks 🚴‍♂️

Really nice route through some very scenic parts of the countryside, and well organised. Thanks to the marshalls and those manning the feed stations, and thanks to the riders from Nova and Newport who gave me a bit of a tow 😉

Thanks for a great ride my first Sportive - really well organised and great routes 👍🏻

Really enjoyed the ride. Thank you to all who organised the event, the the marshal's and the guys serving food.
Looking forward to the next one 😁

I really enjoyed the day. Well run and lovely route.

Great event!... Already booked Newport .... Hopefully I won't need the broom wagon to pick me after a 1st ever mechanical after 72 miles! Thanks Ian. .... Would highly recommend Bostin' Events to friends, great route, fantastic feed stations & hot drinks..... Hotdog too!... GREAT EVENT

Great event and thanks for organising the weather as well!😄☀️ Will certainly be back for a 3rd time next year 👍👍

It was a fabulous event, well coordinated, signage was easy to follow. The. Marshall’s/staff were brilliant and supportive. Covid restrictions were as they should be. A brilliant route(Even those damm hills 😜). Awesome guys and girls, well done all! 👍🚴‍♀️

Best Sportive I have ridden for a good long while! Lovely route/people/atmosphere. If you haven't done a Bostin ride yet, you really should! ...

Really excellent event with fab weather. Only made even more memorable by riding and chatting for a good distance with a few celebs (Darren Gough, Austin Healey and Amy Williams).

Really well organised event. The marshals were really helpful when I had a mechanical problem with my bike - thank you!

Superb route, great food and super slick organisation! Thanks guys from team Belfast, we loved it!

Really well organised event. Enjoyable day.

Cracking day thank you.

Thanks for organising another great event. Perfect

Rode the 120k Vyrnwy Velo yesterday, fabulous route on smooth quiet roads, good signage, loved it.

It was really brilliant. It was my first time and despite having done London to Paris last year 2 months after buying my bike i have very little experience. The guys we met on the ride were so friendly and 2 even decided to do the whole thing with us! Well organised and great food and support thank you🚴‍♀️🚵‍♂️

It's been a great day thanks, really enjoyed it 😀

Well you were my 1st sportive and won't be my last. And I'll certainly be looking to do another bostinride event. Altho I only did the baby 37 miler I was thrilled to be 1st finisher (I know it's not a race but even so I was dead chuffed). Might see if can find time with the boss aka Mrs B to do the autumn peak classic silver race... better get some more miles under my saddle then... thanks for a well organised great fun event!

My first time with you guys. Really enjoyed, great route apart from that wind 💨
I thought you did a great job with the new protocols 👏🏻 👍🏻

Loved it.... but "the odd challenging hill" that was an understatement... but what an achievement.... I can now say I conquered it.... thank you. 😊

Big thanks to the event organisers, was a fantastic day out on the bike, weather was great 😎 even if the headwind was a bit much 💨🙄. Will defo be doing another 👍

@BostinRide awesome event and great atmosphere #BostinChase

Great route again, well done Bostin' Rides and thank you for organising these

Thank you today had to 1 of the best sportives I have ever done

I and a friend took part in the chase gold ride today. We both agreed it was an excellent sportive - the route was well thought out, very pretty and very fast - we had a great time. well marshalled and great food also. it was worth the 3hr 30m round trip from Liverpool.

Absolutely amazing day, I’m shattered now, with a sore bum!😂😂😂
See you at the next one.💪💪🏁💪

Very well organised, everyone smiling and aching at the finish. Roll on next year, better prepared 😎

Thanks for the great day guys !! Was my second event today hence being scared to go in the upper classes, so I stuck to bronze, everyone that was riding was brilliant, and it was a super duper organised day, the staff did a great job!! Thanks very much ! 😀

Beautiful route (we did silver), great camaraderie, scenery, tunnels to make spooky noises in, deer, rabbits, churches and many smiling cyclists! Well organised and yummy hotdogs at the end. Thank you to all involved in organising this fab Sportive! 😊😊😊

Hi Team
Just a quick note to say thanks for a great Sportive.
This is the first time I have done one of the Bostin’ Rides and I thought the route was a joy and the organisation and way marking were excellent. It’s a shame there were not more entries but there were quite a few other events taking place locally.
Hopefully things will be better for your next one - I’m definitely looking forward to going around the other way next spring!

Another fantastic day. So friendly. Thanks everyone

Ace Bostin, looking forward to next year already 💪💪🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏁🏁🏁

Really enjoyed today's ride, great route, climbs and hot dog at the end. Big thank you to the folks at the water station by Bala lake, couldn't have made it back without their cable ties holding my saddle on!

Awesome day well organised, loved everything about all 4 of your rides 👍.
Will definitely be riding with you next year.
🚲🚲

Really enjoyable and well organised event. Thanks to all who gave up their time to put it on. Hot dogs were a highlight, the hills a lowlight!

Pre-event tea and coffee with biscuits during sign up is a nice touch. 75 miles of nice countryside without much traffic. Two great aid stations with all sorts of cake and goodies as well as hot drinks. A medal at the end with a hot dog! All included. I will definitely do more Bostin events.

Huge thanks to all the organisers and volunteers for their smiles and words of encouragement, they made the ride good fun.

Very well organised, good locations with easy parking, easy registration and well marked routes. Good feedstops and a finishers medal into the bargain. Photography on course, so what's not to like? Thoroughly enjoyable sportives.

Fantastic people, great prices and stunning routes. From beginner to racer, all can be involved and enjoy it along the way!

The gold route was absolutely superb guys. Really enjoyed it and I ride a lot.

Did gold route, very tough especially over the moors (weather didn't help) shame you couldn't add a few more miles to hit the 100 mark, guessing it's the trend in using kilometres, but very well organised event. Big shout out to the 2 lads on water stop duty, really thought they were joking about how hard the next bit was!

Cracking route and once again....hot dog to die for 😁😁

What a great sportive loved every minute of it and awesome atmosphere. Roll on the next one #BostinChase

Thanks Bostin great sportive

Brilliant event, thanks to all the organisers and marshalls. Spot on with every part of the event from the registration through to the finish. I love the availability of my favourite drink at the event....tea...nothing else does it for me. Everyone was so helpful and friendly, a big thank you.

Beautiful ride, thanks guys and girls. Now if you could just iron out some if the hills for next year 😂

I rode the event in 2017 and thought it was so good I came back for more in 2018 and will ride it again 2019. I never usually ride the same sportive twice but the route is exceptional. Looking forward to sampling some of the other Bostin Ride offerings in 2019 as well.

The Organisers and Volunteers of Bostin ride have made my 2018 sportive's really memorable. The best 4 rides with a mixture of some good hills, I like the hills �.
Routes well sign posted, feed stations well stocked, great atmosphere from other cyclists and the Bostin Ride team. I will see you next year. Can't wait to see you in 2019, would highly recommend to everyone. ��

Great Sportive will be back again next year 🚴‍♀️👍

Great day out. Tough challenge on the 150km but feels good to have done it. Thanks guys.

Thank you to all at Boston rides for a great sportive today. Well organised, clear signage and good social distancing from team and participants....

Another fantastic event. Always feel welcome by everyone involved. Really enjoyed the route and some great climbs. Looking forward to the next one!! 😀😀

Absolutely loved today, brilliantly organised as usual especially under the circumstances . Nice touch with the bags of gels provided at the beginning. Nice to see some familiar faces & thanks Helen from Lawley for taking turns at the front through the hurricane on the last 20 lol.Really missed doing Blithfield Reservoir though. Keep up the good work and see you again some time this year 😃

Done plenty of sportives and today's was my favourite. Lovely route, great organisation, well stocked feed station. Can't wait to do some more of your rides 😁

Great job by all. Everyone involved was friendly and helpful, route signs were well placed, and the refreshments were spot on.

Superb day. Well organised! Marshals were brill 👍🚲

Excellent day. A few other organisers should take note..! Well done to the riders and big thanks to all the Bostin organisers and support team.

Yes a massive thank you, my husband did this for the 1st & said he has never been to such a well organised race x

First time attending the event, well organised fabulous route, we will be back !

I had a great day. Did the silver route. Very well organised event. Stunning views & some interesting climbs !!! Many thanks.

Thanks to all involved for making this such a fantastic Sportive, 2nd time I've done it, love the gold route, worth all the climbs!! for the amazing views and great descents.
Look forward to next years. :-)) 🚵🏼🚵🏼🚴🏽

Excellent day again folks. We’ll be back 😀

Bostin' by name Bostin by nature. Thanks for an awesome event. Thanks to everyone who helped stage it. Hopefully you will do it again next year😉😉

Second year of doing the gold route and it just keeps getting better! Fantastic well organised day and will defo be doing it again next year...even if it is a 6 hour round trip from yorkshire!!

Did the Gold route, was tough with the wind. A fantastic day and well organised, good signage, feed station's brilliant and love the medal. I have done all your events so far this year see you next month.

From start to finish such a well organised event . Excellent in every way from registration, pre bike maintenace support, ease of parking, the ride itself the course ( testing and tough but so scenic), marshalls and signs, post ride refreshments all organised in a thorough but relaxed professional way.. Oh and the weather always an added plus !
A huge thank you to all involved for your hard work.

Great day, very well organised

Rode the Bronze route. Cheeky wee climb to begin just after the start was a bit of a surprise, got the lungs and legs going. Cracking route with lovely lanes and scenery. Just enough hills and climbs for my poor conditioning, the one at Butterley? nearly had me getting off, but made it with a bit of cursing. It was my mates first sportive and he really enjoyed it. I hope this becomes a more popular ride as the organisers and volunteers did a cracking job. Thanks and i will see you again in spring.

I did the silver route and really enjoyed it, nice roads superb scenery and some naughty hills, congrats to the route planner probably the best sportive I've ridden so far, well done see you on the next one.

Great day well supported by the cyclists from near and far, staff /volunteers did a brilliant job serving food marshalling the course etc... Our first Bostin ride will ride with you again thanks!

Hello, just did the Bostin Peaks Sportive, my second sportive I also did the Brewood in June. Just wanted to express my appreciation to all staff involved, just like the Brewood it was professionally organised and superbly signposted, the rest stops are a life saver, thanks again, hopefully I'll be back for more

Brilliant event, well organised, cracking route with clear signs for all routes 🙂 amazing food as well! Thank you 🏆

Leg killing hills but well worth it when at the top for those views...just wish i had my phone on me so i could of taken some pics! Fantastic well organised day many thanks to all involved 👏👍

Thanks for another fabulous event. Can't fault it yet again. 3 down , 1 to go

Great day and a well organised event. All of the staff do Bostin proud. Please pass on my thanks to all for giving up your days to make ride days fantastic

Fantastic days riding thanks to all the organisers who work hard to make the bostin rides such a success

Another great event!... Thanks. Looking forward to Sportives next year!... Please keep up the good work

An Epic ride with good friends . We did the gold route and the route signage was perfect ! Never a shadow of a doubt where to go. All marshals and people running event were friendly and helpful . We were a little concerned that everyone would have packed up and gone home as due to mechanicals and some slightly character building weather time was getting on when we finished. But we got a cheer from the three girls handing out the medals (love a bit of bling) and a warm welcome in the refreshments area . If Carlsberg did hotdogs ....... Thank you and keep doing exactly what your doing , just get the weather sorted 😂

Well done everyone involved, we had a great time.

Fantastic people, great prices and stunning routes. From beginner to racer, all can be involved and enjoy it along the way!

What an amazing day. Louis Spence made my day! Thank you !

Very well organised, good locations with easy parking, easy registration and well marked routes. Good feedstops and a finishers medal into the bargain. Photography on course, so what's not to like? Thoroughly enjoyable sportives.

Great day, loved the route and the samosas at the feed stations were the best. My 12 year old lad bagged his first 100k. Thank you all.

A big thanks to all involved in supporting the Sportive today.

Us 7 from Mold were on our first Bostin ride and really enjoyed the route.

The hot dog at the end was scrummy.

Great day - great organisation AGAIN..! Well done all involved. See you at the next one 😁

Yet another Bostin' Bostin' Chase sportive. Friendly registration marshalls.
Brilliant feed station and lovely welcome on finish line.
See you at Bostin Bridge

Hi, I rode your event today and just wanted to say what an enjoyable event it was. I don't know that part of the country and so was looking forward to riding new roads and taking in new scenery. Wow what a picturesque ride through some beautiful countryside and pretty villages. The event was well organised, well marked and a friendly crowd too out on the roads. Thank you and hopefully I'll ride the event again next year..

Thanks for another great route, see you next year 🚲

Crackin day 👍 loves it 😊

Fabulous event to ride. Well organised superb refreshments 🙂🍷 mulled wine on every ride please 👏👏👏

Great ride on a lovely day, my second year on the Bronze route maybe one day I'll attempt silver! thanks @BostinRide #VyrnwyVelo

First time riding one of your events and it was fab, so well organised, great food and drinks and an awesome route where everyone was so friendly and from what I saw, well behaved. Thanks for a great day, I will be back!

Superb event today. Challenging gold route. Awesome scenery. Faultless signage. Good feed stations and not forgetting those that organised. Thank you.

Rode the Gold Route. Must say thanks for running this event amidst the COVID restrictions. The event was organised very well, registration very slick. Thanks to all the volunteers for a sterling job making it happen

Fantastic event thanks guys. Great route and on-route support, fab start venue, event organisation and way-marking... The excellent feed stations were just what we needed to see us through with all those hills and gusty winds!
