Just a few quotes from riders:
- Dear Jim, Many thanks to you and the team who provided us with such an great day out Emitting Lite. A very well-organised and friendly event. With such numbers cycling the helpers could well have felt a bit frazzled, but they were cheerful and supportive when we came by, and we were tail-end charlies. We enjoyed the route and we enjoyed the refreshments at the controls - good route and good food adds up to very happy cyclists. Cheers Rona
- Hi Jim, Just a thank you to you and your team for putting on the Emitremmus again. Had another great day out on the bike, and everyone was just so great even when under pressure. Kind Regards Phil
- Hi Jim, So EMIT just keeps getting better and better! that first control at Hare street is now so incredibly effficient - card stamped,cup of tea ,roll and away in 7 minutes - amazing. And once again the Therfield controll was a gourmet delight with smiley WI ladies. Many thanks to you and all the excellent helpers. Mike

- Hi, I am not sure if you can post this anywhere but i thought i would send it anyway I came off my bike after about a mile and this is a message of THANKS. Nearly every single rider that went pass me while lying on the side of the road asked if i was OK. Did i need water ,first aid kit etc.Once i got back to the sailing centre a very kind lady got me patched up. Thank you to the first aider in the sailing centre. My first long bike ride did not go well oh well better luck next time This message was sent by Fiona
- Hi Jim, Would just like to say what a great job you and the team did yesterday and to say thanks for a very enjoyable day. The only downside for me was the cramps in both legs during stages 3 & 4. Must work on this. Kind regards. John. ps re the cheque, did you get enough orders? [some orders have come in, Jim will be in touch individually -ed]
