...but it's very tight at the top...Cedric's amazing quest towards a maiden 300 has seen him lead for 17 weeks on the trot, which has pushed him to the top of the leaderboard, but Mariana is right behind, and her flexibility in leading on any day of the weekend has kept her right in contention...it may go down to the last week! But don't write off Paul Balfe...his midweek or Sunday D-runs is keeping him in touch and it's now his time of the year to push for glory.
Am I over selling this?
No matter, the trophy is worth winning, and shows commitment to the club so let's applaud this leadership battle.
Other stats... There have been 854 riders in the 39 weeks of the year so far, at an average of 21.9 per week. There have been 135 different riders riding a club run of some sort, of which around 30 (22%) are female...again, we'd like to see this pushing higher, but this is slightly higher than last year's gender split of 82/18 (male/female)
The full set of club runs is below...usual rules, get any queries to me on a crisp £50 note and I'll consider your plea.
