Well it's only a few days off now and we seem to have a very large pile of prizes from lots of very nice people
We obviously have a load of stupid prize "categories" but we are trying to move on from "shonky'ist bike" kind of thing, but we will keep some of the old favourites, don't fear 🙂
So we are looking for ideas, can't be to bias to yourself 😉
Where would you like to see some prizes going
21stone 7lbs on the scales this morning..... 😉
The 'chicks dig scars' award for the best/worst wound?
Being a singlespeeder will probably mean the winner will be lacking when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex but it's the thought that counts - I suppose
seeing as everyone tries to out do each other by being different , but ends up looking the same ie. beards, big side burns, fixie clothing messenger caps, niche wear etc.
how about the most normal looking person award ( if you can find one )
