must say it was a fantastic day which was well organised"
Alison Russell
I
would like to take this opportunity to thank the organizers for a wonderful
day that was yesterday. This was my first experience of this event and
I can assure you it won't be my last.I was astounded at the level of
support you arranged for the riders and the offer of food and refreshments
was overwhelming. Your organization left me wanting for nothing and
I thank you for your careful planning and consideration to us. In the
process of the event I have raised over £1K for the charity LR
and I wish them all the best for future fundraising. Again thank you
from us the riders, the whole experience was fantastic. Regards. No
