Honourable mention to MM but, of late, his lungs let him down. RJSTerry and notsoblue also deserve a mention0 -

I'd like to add Undercover Elehphant to that list. He appears plough a lonely furrow most days but when he sees another cyclist the game is always afoot.
Besides, whe shouldn't neglect the non-London riders.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
Race - Fuji Norcom Straight

Plenty of lonely furrows being ploughed outside London, not least on Maryhill Road.....
But UE has been an inspiration.... I have probably only 2 days off cycling since my injury, 2.5 stone down, and now down to 30" waist jeans from 36" this year. Done 2 sportives, did first ton and cracked out over 1,000 miles in August. I'm an addict!"Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -

I'd like to second that. As was mentioned the other day, it's a good job UE's up there so he doesn't get a chance to put us London types to shame.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Lots of contenders IMO: CP, Wrath Rob, UE, JG, RJS, notsoblue, Pufttmw (sp.? )and KD. I'll need the weekend to think about it.
@ITB - Greg T's had his day. He doesn't have the legs anymore. He's dropped off the back. I understand he's due to be put out to pasture soon.FCN 2-4.

I'm not sure whither to nominate you for the meerkat or the d-lock award?

I'd heard he had to be put down, taken out back and shot - it was for the best really.

My vote would be for King "shaved like a laydee" Donut.
He seems to have bumped into more than most on this forum and still has his scalp intact and a collected a few forumites scalps0 -
Think I'm going to go with Clever Pun, his indiscriminate scalping of anything on 2 wheels seems to know no bounds, even completing a fitness regime that would scare Navy Seals during lunch breaks doesn't seem to have too much of an effect!
As a special mention I'd suggest Gaz545, he's provided a nice challenge along the usually dull CS7. I was also going to nominate another rider on here who'd scalped me along that same stretch but can't for the life of me remember their name. You have a caradice saddle bag and got captured on Gaz's helmet cam snapping your handlebars! If that's you feel free to job my memory :-)0 -

So then - what do you girls base your over-hasty reports of my decline on?
Also CJ I dropped off the back a couple of nights ago - can you get your Mrs to clean and press my shirt to my high standard and have her drop it round at my club please.

Gawd knows which page this had slipped too, I relied on some Google-fu to find it!
Seeing as we have only just over a week until the prize giving I thought it best to bring this to the first page again :-)
I was thinking the same about you, I guess 6 children are keeping you very busy or have you been planning no. 7Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

6 REALLY is enough.....training, coupled with a week covering the team leader position at my most local site meant I had very little SCR action or time to get on the forum! Rather fortunately it appears I have this week booked OFF work so I haven't had to tackle the dire roads/trains during the snow and the kids school has been closed for 2 days now!
Quite looking forward to next week with as I'll be in London ALL week and due to some rather devious planning I'm only working just over the river at an office on Vauxhall Cross next Friday :-D0 -
Can we have some sort of PR voting system? Here's my top 3:
1. CP
2. UE
3. RJSFCN 2-4.

It's done, hopefully it'll arrive before the big day - I had to use a different company this year, seems they're no longer trading.
