STRAW21
This year has been a bit different, again. In recognition of the fact that there’s not very much stuff out there to buy, and who knows what model year it is, or whether that launched item is actually in the shops, our Singletrack Reader Awards are going to be a bit different too.
Rather than grumble about the shortage of this and that, this year’s Singletrack Reader Awards are going to celebrate those who have just got on and done stuff. It’ll be less about the tech, and more about the people and places that make our sport great. We’ll be looking for your nominations for the individuals, groups and organisations that have made a difference to our mountain biking community this year, in a range of new award categories.
