MANDY PARKER OF EAST BRADFORD CC TO COLLECT THE C. A. RHODES AWARD FOR 2021
The Trustees were able to meet face-to-face in November. It has been a good year for Yorkshire cyclists at the highest level with former Award winners Lizzie Deignan triumphing in the inaugural Women’s Paris-Roubaix and Tom Pidcock winning the MTB title at the Tokyo Olympics. In total there were eight different nominations and after discussing the merits of each the Trustees were unanimous in offering the Award to Mandy Parker. Mandy has been a hard worker in promoting and supporting grass roots cycling , most specifically for children, in the Leeds/Bradford area and throughout the county and has set hundreds of young riders on a path of enjoyment of cycling.
It is hoped to present the Award to Mandy at the Yorkshire Cycling Federation Luncheon at Pontefract on 27th February 2022, covid restrictions permitting.
