Bent over backwards to make trip smooth and enjoyable. Super friendly and informative. Went extra mile (literally) in doing recce incredibly early on Sunday morning before emergency bib collection. We all knew what to expect at every step of the experience and as a result zero dramas (that I am aware of). An ace team of reps who all deserve special praise.
