2008 Course Survey

In total 24 riders responded to the survey, although not all have ridden every course, therefore average scores take account of number of responses. Results are based on a score of 1, 2 or 3, with 3 being the best. Some members did not answer every category, eg those who cycled to an event did not score "Parking".

Interestingly the K10/10 is still the riders' favourite based on "Fun". Although we can't use Wolvey as the lay-by's disappeared, we were still interested in your responses. It's clear that Shuckburgh gets a thumbs down, but it would be difficult to dump Lawford, despite its unpopularity, as we have to fit into the course schedule with other clubs.

There was an amazing diversity in responses - some riders gave Lawford a 3 for "Fun", while others hated it. The additional comments which members provided indicate that you can't please everyone, but they were helpful nonetheless.
