PB = the lady’s personal best for the event over the current and previous
seasons **
M = 15ml, 5ml, 320s, 150s, 80s, 70s, 30s for events of 24hr, 12hr, 100ml,
50ml, between 50ml & 27ml, between 27ml & 10ml, 10ml or less respectively

This formula awards points for getting close to PBs and an increasing number of
points as the PB is approached and then exceeded.

** as Hardrider events vary in distance from year to year the value of PB for one of
these events is determined by dividing the distance of the event by the lady’s best
speed achieved in Hardrider events in the current and previous seasons.

Open ‘50’ (Gold Flake Cup)
The Gold Flake Cup is awarded to the winner of the club’s open ‘50’ event. In 1935 the committee instigated the Open 50 as there was not an event in the Bristol area at that distance. Bill Perry’s boss was a Mr Sherman whose son was a sports promoter. Following discussions contact was made with Wills by the sports promoter and they provided the Gold Flake Cup. The 50 is called the Jubilee 50 as the King was celebrating his jubilee at that time.
