Tl;dr - please vote for me!

As many of you know, I do a fair bit of voluntary work in the mountain biking world - either through the advocacy group I chair: Peak District MTB, through the updates/responsibility channel I founded: Keeper of the Peak, or more recently in the grassroots charity I've founded: The Trail Pot.

Rewardingly this work in the mtb world has been recognised with an award nomination. More rewardingly the nomination has come from the community itself. From leading novice riders in the hills back in the day, to getting major UK landowners round the table more recently, getting people riding in and caring for the environment they visit is a common thread. Better riding, in all its guises, is the goal.

I'm in the more uncomfortable position now though of asking for votes! So please do throw a vote my way - it'd be a lovely endorsement of the aims of the communities I've helped to build, and every member of them.

I did see the community builder headline pop up in a Google feed this morning and thoughts of you, Chris

I still ride with good friends that I met through Pootles many moons ago. Having had a short stint with PDMTB, I realised it's not something I'm up to but I'm glad other people are.

Would vote for you without prompting.

I'd like to vote.

As Onzadog says above, I've met some amazing people through your 'Pootles' , who are now really good friends.

Done.

Time for another Pootle?

I've even thought about organising a similar thing myself 🙂

It never fails to surprise me how bad Chis is at communicating when he's head of communications in his real life job.

I'll vote when the 5 pint proof reading debt is settled.
