Rider and Volunteer Feedback:
Congratulations on producing a great event—the White Mountain Double. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and found the course, the rest stop products, and the volunteers to be first rate. Your production team did an outstanding job of making a challenging double enjoyable. I’m glad I finally did White Mountain.
Thanks again for a great event.

I rode the White Mountain Double on Saturday (Highland) and had a great time. The support was great and the ride was beautiful. I will have to say, putting the ride on twice on consecutive days was a very ambitious undertaking!!! Kudos!

Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed your event! You have a spectacular course and your aid station volunteers were spectacular as well! I know that they worked hard all day because I kept seeing them time and again! Your placement of the stations worked well for the conditions of the terrain and weather. And having a drop for lights and clothes was an unexpected service for me, having ridden brevets for the last few years! And finally, you have scheduled the ride as a perfect final training session for the 508! Thanks for all the work that you have put into your event!
