These two trophies are awarded annually to the club members who have ridden the furthest in non-competitive, organised events; ie in reliability rides, sportives and audaxes. Club runs don’t count, but events organised by WVCC count double.
It seems that there may be a bit of competition hotting up this for these prestigious awards so make sure you get your mileage recorded and send it regularly to Rhys Thomas at rhys@wellandvalleycc.co.uk. Thank you to Rhys for taking on this job.
The photo below is of Lee Scampton who was a stalwart of the club. His pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the annual Carnival Crits, for which the organising started a year before the event. These criteriums took place in the mid-late 80’s, in the days before the Market Harborough town centre was paved & part pedestrianised and the whole town centre was closed (A feat in itself)
