Ride - Ard Rock
Film - I thik I saw Rogue One this year - so that.
TV - Toss up between Mindhunter and Stranger Things S2. I've always been a bit 'meh' about PoI so will have to give that some more time after comments above.
Album - I've not listened to anything new at all this year. Which is sad.
Thread - Got to be gnusmas' front light thread. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/cheap-front-light-to-help-me-be-less-depressed
Other - Would have been finally moving to the Peak District, but my stupid time wasting buyer has scuppered that until the new year. So it will have to be *nearly* moving to the Peak District.

Ride. Not the one at BPW where I suffered a Radial Head Fracture. Probably a solo trip up and down The Cobbler in the summer.

Film. Blade Runner 2048 so close, but on reflection eclipsed by Baby Driver.

TV. Taboo for trying to do something a bit different with BBC1 prime time. Honourable mentions for Peaky Blinders, Detectorists and American Gods.

Album. Eliza Carthy and The Wayward Band. Big Machine.

Thread. One of the few who hasn't read Ling, but it seems pretty unanimous so I'll go along with it.

It's not. I didn't like the woman at all. I understand why people enjoyed it, but nah, not me.

Interesting (except Gogglebox) - Chewing Gum was a funny comedy if no-one saw it. Not as funny as Vice Principals, which would be my comedy of the year (US version anyway). It was mental - Walton Goggins is amazing.

Thread: Nothing springs to mind on here, but this Facebook group has taken up too much of my time this year...

ROTY I'll bend the rules and make it weekend of the year on the bike: had conjunctivitus but despite that a Friday afternoon at a hot and dry Forest Of Dean, a Saturday at BPW in the dust and then a scorcher of a lap around Cannock on the way home was a great weekend. Zero mud, short sleeves, great friends - everything it should be. To be honest, its one of the very few occasions I've ridden outside of Calderdale this year. Something I need to fix in 2018.

TOTY: no idea. I don't read much on here anymore as its all wood burners and cross bikes. Wood burners I have one so I don't need to read about them and cross bikes are work of the devil.

AOTY: don't think I've listened to any new music this year but its been the year I 'discovered' the Eagles Of Death Metal so I'll say anything by them.

FOTY: The Last Jedi even though I've not seen it yet. The only other time I've been to the cinema this year was for the Lego Ninjago Movie and that was shit.

TVOTY: Octonauts never fails to impress especially given the monumental demise of Fast N Loud since AK left.

One of our guests is studying for a PhD in film at Stockholm university so I think it'll be right up her street. Or not
