Words Of Praise

We would appreciate it if you will pass on our thanks to your members. Members of our bridleways group regularly ride in Nunthorpe Village and Great Ayton areas, they frequently meet cyclists bearing your club colours who are always courteous to our members warning them of their approach from the rear so as not to spook their horses.

It is really good to receive feedback from horse riders in this respect and we Thank all your cyclists for their efforts and courtesy. 

Proof that we can all use the roads together with respect for each other.

North Hambleton Bridleway Group

CWCC welcomes this praise and encourages its members to always behave in a courteous and civilised manner whilst out on rides.
