Blazing Saddles Competition

Cycling - a great way to get fit in good company.

The trophy, inurgurated in 1992, is presented to the rider who rides on the most of our organised rides during the year.

For those that care for details only those rides included on our published/printed rides lists will count towards the trophy. Each ride ridden counts as one point towards the trophy. To count as a ride, a rider must ride a reasonable segment of the route and be listed in the leaders ride report. The first ride of the "year" is always the Christmas Lunch ride. This ride is the occasion when the previous years awards are presented and the day the counts are restarted. Only CTC members are eligable to receive the trophy. Please remember that this local competition is intended to add interest to the rides

The second list of the year! Alan has reclaimed the lead from Robert but is still closely followed by Jim and Robert. In the Lady's competition Alison is already doing an "Alan" as is Lauren in the Junior competition.
