Prestbury Cancer Committee Perpetual Trophy

The Prestbury Cancer Committee Perpetual Trophy was presented to the club in 1976 after three members undertook a sponsored ride, to London and back in nine hours. John Boucher, Roy Breedon, and junior rider Chris Edwards left Kings Square at 8.00am on 4th July, 1976 with an escort car on what turned out to be a very hot day. Riding in a relay they were back in Gloucester by 5.00pm having raised a considerable sum for Cancer Research.

The Trophy was originally awarded to the winner of the Open 50 mile time trial but when the 50 course was lost due to road ‘improvements’ in 1994 the award became redundant. It was not until 2000 that it was awarded to the winner of the Ladies Short Distance Best All Rounder, being the best average speed over two 10 and two 25 mile time trials.
