You guys say the nicest things! "I'll keep this short and sweet and I'm sure your inbox is full. The BoneShaker is such a wonderful event and I'm looking forward to next year already. Your organisation is top notch and the family atmosphere and comaraderie is very special. Thanks for your time, effort, dedication, passion and lovely nature for another great day out. See you next year."
2008 was my year...I dusted off the bike shoes and scrubbed up my tatty Kona and set off up the Ridgeway to start my training....., on the first occasion I nearly died at the top of the East Hendred climb!!! But it was fabulous to be up there on my bike and to feel like a real person again, I only got out a few times but enough to give me confidence that would complete the course last weekend, and so I did in a respectable time to boot. So a massive thank you, you have no idea how fab it was to be ME again and without the BoneShaker I would never have got off my backside to ride again."
“Thank you for putting on a cracking race, I really enjoyed it, super fast course and nice atmosphere , I will spread the good news for you at Oxford Triathlon club”
“…great event, thoroughly enjoyed the whole package. I think the word will spread for next year, so I will have to be on my toes to get entered!”
“It is Tuesday, I still ache, I am still smiling and I am boring everyone I come across with just how much fun and what a great time I had on Sunday - and I only did the bike leg. I am in awe of all the people who did all 3 legs and could still walk!
The organisation was great, the marshals all very encouraging and nice (especially the one on the trial bike at the top of the hill!) and the buff as the memento was a fab idea.”
“…you should all be very proud of putting a 'not to be missed' event on the sporting calendar”.
“I'd like to thank you all for putting on a great event. It was my first Boneshaker, and I'd love to come back again next year (hopefully in better shape). I thought the routes were excellent, as was the marshalling. I can't really think of any improvements, all in all it was a really good day out”
“…I loved the fact that the event attracts really fit people to have a go types.......my efforts seem to have inspired a lot of my friends to give it a go next year which is great!”
“The event was so brilliantly organised, there were loads of marshals, additional signage around the course, free post race massage (no queue by the time we arrived!) and there were lots of things for our patient families to do while they waited for us. I would thoroughly recommend it and Emma and I are already looking forward to next year!”
“Many thanks for a very, very enjoyable bone-shaker on Sunday, my first one and hopefully not my last. Very well organised in a stunning location, delightful, tough, but fair course.”
“Like last year it was fun for participants and spectators alike, and very well marshaled and organised.”
“Hi guys, just wanted to e-mail you and say thanks very much for a great event. I've done well over 60 running races and can honestly say few were either as well organised or had such a friendly family feel as this event. You've done so well especially considering you're still such a new event.”
“the nicest race organisers in the whole wide world, wonderful low key vibe, fab post race atmosphere, unique course with the reverse runs, a challenging but enjoyable course, wonderful tranquil location - a hidden gem!”
“The Boneshaker is a great event which I know will grow to have a big national reputation in the next few years - the area is perfect for Duathlons” |
