Christina Gustafson collected the award for Club Person of the Year for getting involved in just about everything, whist Saulius Vizbaras received the award for Ride of the Year for his self-supported Transcontinental Ride across Europe during the summer, and Natalie Bravo won The Anthony Maynard Spirit Award for her hard work and commitment in growing the women’s membership.
Paul Whitehorne had a good year collecting awards for Veteran Track Champion, Road Race Champion and 10 mile Time Trial Road Bike Champion, whilst Greg Woodford picked up awards for 10 and 25 mile Time Trial Champion, in a season that saw him achieve his first sub-20 minute 10 mile time trial.
Other award winners also included James Scrivener, Jennifer Magill, Rob Jefford, Steve Ferry, Andrew Brady, Matthew Gara, Darren
Parker, Ray Bennett and Rod MacFadyen.
Club chairman Greg Woodford said: “2018 was a great year of growth in membership, particularly new women members through our women-only rides. We have also seen increased participation across all our cycling disciplines including cyclo-cross, time trials, track and road racing, as well as our weekly social club runs.”
