A selection of quotes from participants...
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Just a quick note to thank you all for such a brilliant ride. So perfectly organised and what a delightful crew of helpers, marshall, officials, etc.
I really don't think it could have been bettered - you must feel so proud."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Just wanted to say this is the first ‘event’ I have ever done and I was so impressed by the organisation, the marshalls, rest points, signage along the route, that I wanted to say thank you to all involved in making the day happen. One particularly outstanding gesture was to find boxes of peeled satsumas at the main lunch stop (a primary school). The actual route was lovely, closing the dyke road enables those who can cycle up to do so."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"The ride yesterday was fantastic, well organised, lots of fun and a thoroughly enjoyable day. You've all done a wonderful job in organised such a worthwhile event."
Dalia Terret, a first-time Capital to Coast rider

"A quick note to express my deep appreciation of an awesome event yesterday.
I do lots of these types of thing and can honestly say that the organisation is second to none. Everyone who is involved should feel very very proud. The route is superb and we were, of course, blessed with good weather which helps.
It is so superior to the other L2B that I have done for the last 20 years. From now on I will only be doing the C2C and will encourage all my chums to do the same."
Tim Smee, a Front Rider participant
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Just a quick email to thank you for a wonderful day yesterday. It was the first CtoC ride I have entered and I hope to participate in many more. Everything was so well planned and the refreshment stops were amazing! Thank you again for such an amazing day."
