the forgotten people………

all the non commercial race/ event organisers who create the events that define the sport out of a love biking and making something happen with thinking what is in it for them

and the people who volunteer their time to marshal and help make these events happen

the people who introduce others to riding bikes off the road

Why does Danny Hart keep cropping up?

He’s won 1 race not exactly setting the bar high for Hall of Fame is it.

Most of the people on this thread are just were fast. The point is to name people who have played a major part in the development of the sport. Pat Adams isn’t going to be in there because it’s him organizing it and he’s not egotistical.

I think the only people I’d go 100% for are:
JMC
Tym Manley
Peaty

After that, other suggestions:
Helen Mortimer
The Orange guys
The Pace guys
The Hope guys
Steve Worland
Rankin and Spasic
Oli Bec

It’s a couple more than one race…
For example winning every NPS race in a season for his category. Twice.
Junior world cup champ also.

But yes you wouldn’t put him in ahead of the likes of Steve Peat. He needs a few more years yet.

Also if you look at it like that Gee Atherton hasn’t won a lot either. 1 world champs and 3 world cup rounds in 9 years as an Elite.

Another vote for Steve Worland – bullshit free, easily understood, sensible advice.
Jo Burt.
Dafydd Davis.

“Friend Wood”, I was trying to remeber his second name.
Drew Lawson, in the UK early days, the terms Mountain Bike and Muddy Fox were interchangeable.

Some alternatives

Schmoo (Maurice Levenson)
Rory Hitchins
Martyn Salt

Vic Barnet – double world champ 😉
