Since we are now in award season, how about some nominations for special Bike Radar awards? So folks, what has been the best thread and post of the year? Who has made you laugh or your blood boil? What has been the best advice and most helpful poster? Only rule is there are no rules....

Get nominating.
Nobody told me we had a communication problem

    I know its easy to nominate something fresh in the memory, but I really like this:

You know, good days, when all the pieces have fallen into place, man and machine are in perfect harmony, your body feels lithe and supple and capable of anything? Days which confirm your belief in your own gargantuan talent?

    Tailwinds.

    Very accurate and very well worded.

    Best thread; was 'The Receptionist' this year? We still need updates on that.
    Most helpful; KB for quoting the initial post in that thread so it wouldn't be lost.

    A few suggestions for members of the year:

    Pangolin, who very kindly went back into the free-for-all that was the Rapha sample sale to pick up kit on order for those of us who couldn't make it there themselves. He didn't ask for payment in advance and unlike several others declined the opportunity to make huge mark-ups and only took cost price for the items. Great guy.

    Raymondo60 for the fantastic free loan of a bike box for a fortnight for our Dolomites trip

    Mr and Mrs Ron-Griepel, not for their continuous flirting on the Strava thread, rather for putting up the Strava SCR leaderboards each week.
