Good-day to Past riders and potential riders,
We have received a host of messages from everyone and would like to first congratulate all the 2021 finishers as this was certainly an event to remember.
COVID has really had a knock on most of our business and the way they run, this ultimately affected us as well as our sponsors. Beer tents, coffee vans and recovery stations are always apart of the main goal when putting an event on however, this is prohibited in recent times.
We would like to thank Honeycomb Bee Ratings for all their commitment & for jumping on as a late sponsor to this event, without them we would possibly not see the Panorama Tour so for that we are grateful.
Not only did Honeycomb jump on at the “final hour” but they gave their team gave own water out at tables and after the day 1 , they bought water, coke and chocolate milk from their own budget and ensured sanitation on the transfer from them to athlete- over and above as unfortunately we weren’t allowed by Covid to have a feed station and gathering at the end. Arrive to ride. Finish to leave was the aim for Covid.
Honeycomb Bee Ratings and The Honeycomb Panorama Tour have started a relationship which have seen a few lose ends from signage, beer tent, recovery zone, Water & Feeding points AND A LOT MORE which we are troubleshooting for future events to ensure your experience matches your entry fee. Let’s hope Covid allows next year to be bigger and better.
Again, we understand the effort, time and money you put in and will further endure the next years race will be the Honeycomb example for a Panorama Tour so that the beautiful scenery matches the craft beer, filtered water and freshly cut banana in whichever order you feel you may consume these.
We look forward to having you next year. For a BIGGER , SAFER & All round BETTER Tour.
Regards
