Thanks to all of you who submitted nominations to this year’s Singletrack Reader Awards, sponsored by Kona Bicycles. It’s been heartwarming to read all the nominations for all the projects and people who have made your mountain bike world a bit better this year, and it’s been fantastic to receive so many nominations and stories.
This year we had a whole new set of categories for you to nominate to, and it feels to us like you like the shift of emphasis from tech to people. Thanks to Kona Bicycles for joining us for the ride, and to their man Scott Belshaw for joining us on the podcasts and discussions in whittling down the many nominees to this list of finalists.
Voting will open on 18th October. We’re revealing all the finalists today, so you can send them your love and help them enjoy the glory of making it this far. Over the next few days you’ll be able to read a selection of stories and listen to podcasts with some of the finalists. Hopefully you enjoy these and come to appreciate why we’ve picked these people and projects as your finalists as much as we’ve enjoyed learning about their many contributions to our mountain biking world. And then, it’ll be time for you to vote. The overall winners are down to you, so make sure you have your free Singletrack login at the ready so you can access the voting page.
