JonG, because he gets me a discount on Castelli kit CP - because I have serious beard envy Bassjunkie - he's ideal weekend would involve riding to work simply to scalp someone.
Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

But I nominate her as a new, enthusiastic starter. She works from home, yet most days don's the cycling gear and "commutes" 8 miles to her place of work - her home. This to me is dedication, especially as she has advised she is not that fit, but is getting there. Maybe she does not do much SCR, and maybe does not qualify, but nonetheless, I think she deserves recognition

Of course this is the one that everyone wants. Beckham, Brown, Blair, Balls, Button, Bernanke, Buffett, Blanchett, Branson, Beyonce. All embankment regulars, all desperate to make a name for themselves. But that's the B list.

On the basis that it is SCR of the year and not the Worlds nicest guy, or most weight lossed or most popular female. I'm voting for Bassjunkie.
I'm voting him because long after we are all dead and buried there will be the ghost of Bassjunkie riding along the streets of London looking for, catching and dropping many cyclists on their commutes. If at all possible there would be truth in that and the fact that 'you could believe it' is reason enough for him to win.
Reality is that he has a tag dangling from his bag with his FCN on it. He has this so when he overtakes people they know that they've been taken by someone lower on the foodchain than them i.e. Well and truly, properly, scalped.
You can't buy that tag from the shops, he made it. That's dedication. A way of life!
So in my mind given this guy has taken merely an unspoken game and turned it into something just short of religous fanaticism. I'm voting Bassjunkie and will always vote Bassjunkie until someone more passionate about SCR comes along.Food Chain number = 4
