The best of 2011 on AC
At this time of year newspapers are full of list of the best…TV shows, movies of the summer, gourmet hamburgers, whatever….
So I thought what about an AC list? I don’t pretend to know everything about everyone on AC, so I’ll start and I call on others for nominations and suggestions for categories. So here’s a chance to highlight great contributions or contributors and show them a bit of love. Remember we are trying to be nice (and maybe a bit humourous) here.
PS I don’t think we need to pick winners just make an amusing list
Best series of blog posts
Dahondude’s series of blog posts about the 3 peaks ride - The preparation posts showed the lengths some people will go to get ready for a bike ride and the description of the ride itself was comprehensive and entertaining (and obviously provided inspiration for some)
Most entertaining blogger
Snappy Don - Don’s sense of humour and obvious love of cycling came shining through this year. And his posts were always good for showing us how to not take it all so seriously
Most useful discussion post
Most controversial poster
Biggest splash in 2011 – this has to go to Miss PP (the king is dead. Long live the king)
Biggest heart – Mark Ferguson
Most inspirational story – Lisa Payne
Honorary awards for reassuring predictability (we always know where we stand and what to expect from them) – Doddsy, Bicyclefish, Heather
Regular contributions to lots of different discussions – Patrick O’Kane, Rob Rau, Katrina
Best picture from a ride (not professional)
Use of AC to promote group rides – Gawler Wheelers
Best AC event in 2011 – Mad Hatters Ride/AK birthday, H’Eroica, Corkscrew Challenge`
AND FINALLY the Angus Kingston Award for being Angus Kingston goes to..…Angus Kingston!!!
What else?
