Ride of the year nominations wanted

Last year Brian Bernard was awarded the club's Ride of year award. He crashed during the Fred Whitton Challenge, dislocating his finger and damaging his ankles. He showed great resilience in the face of adversity to finish the sportive in 8 hours forty minutes and his ride was overwhelmingly voted ride of the year by the Clarion members.

Please send in your nominations for this year's award so that a shortlist of five rides can be made and then voted on by club members.

The award recognises an outstanding ride by a member or a group of members during the year. It doesn't have to be the fastest ride.

Nominations could be for a new personal best time or a ride where a member overcame adversity, or completed a major challenge, or a new record or simply a ride that makes a great story.

Send in your nominations to me at secretary@westlothianclarion.co.uk

Explain why you think your nomination should be on the shortlist, describing their amazing ride.
