Singletrack scores twice at the Cycling Media Awards

Team Singletrack are returning home from That London to the comforting Northern Bosom of Yorkshire with no less than two awards from the Cycling Media Awards prize giving last night.

Singletrack was represented by Tom Hill, Jenn’s husband, and Our Illustrious Benefactor Mark Alker, Publisher.

Jenn Hill deservedly won the Steve Worland Specialist Writer – Print award, and in a move that surprised many, (including himself, if we’re honest) Chipps walked off with the Cycling Media Legend award.

Chipps hasn’t appeared in the office yet, but his minions have issued an edict that we’re all forbidden from looking at his face directly, and instead we must address him on our knees, peering at his face through his cowboy boots – the brass tips of which have now been polished to a mirror finish.

We’re rolling out the red carpet as we speak. Well, we couldn’t actually find any carpet, but Jamie’s found something at the back of the kitchen cupboard, and one of the t-shirt bike cleaning rags downstairs might’ve been red once, so we’ll just make do with them.

We’d like to say a huge, huge thank you to everyone who voted for Jenn, and congratulations to Chipps!

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.
