The Combined Standard Club Awards were introduced in 2011. These are time or speed targets for achieving gold, silver and bronze club standards for your age and sex.
There are 10 specified competition types including time trials, sportives, hill climbs, audax, mountain bike events and some of the long club runs.
In it’s inaugural year, 33 Calder Clarionistas completed at least one event types.
To receive a medal, it is necessary to achieve gold silver or bronze standards in 3 of the 10 competition types.
9 cyclists, managed to achieve this level and collect a medal. The only Gold went to Kevin Watson, but several of the silver medalists came very close to achieving gold.
Medallists
Kevin Watson Gold
Michael Vennard Silver
Jonny Croston Silver
Andrew Spittlehouse Silver
Martin Price Silver
Matt Dodworth Bronze
Tom Butler Bronze
Paul Lee Bronze
Carl Lindop Bronze.
There were two Gold standards achieved in single events: Rob Hydon’s Paris Brest Paris ride and Digby Ruslings 24.07 ride in the Severn Road Club 10 in June. Neither Rob nor Digby posted times or speeds in 3 competition types so didn’t gain medals.
In addition to gaining Gold, Silver and Bronze standards, points are awarded for up to the 3 best event performances. When these were collated, Kevin Watson comfortably had the most points so is the Calder Clarion Best Combined Standard Award rider of 2011.
