The Lewis Smith Memorial Trophy

One of our special trophies awarded by the committee in recognition for contribution to the club or achievement by a club rider. This trophy was provided to the club by the family of Lewis Smith, a young rider and aspiring talented racer who sadly lost his life shortly before his 18th birthday in 2021. Lewis was an inspirational rider who consistently went out of his way to help and encourage many riders across the club both young and old. He is still very much missed by his clubmates, and this trophy is awarded to the rider who the committee feels most embodies the values Lewis demonstrated.

Ways Week Trophy

Sturgess Cup

The club holds 17 ten mile time trial events each year between the start of May and the end of August. Club members who take part and post a time will be awarded points between 1 and 60 each week. 60 points are awarded to the ‘lead’ rider each week, 59 points to ‘2nd’ etc. However, the relative positions are determined by a handicap system, effectively rewarding a riders consistency and improvement against their own best times. More information on how this is calculated can be found in the Results section – https://calderclarion.co.uk/sturgess-explained/
