Dave Nice. Proved you cannot keep a good man down. Stolen gear during the the GDR and just keep riding and smiling.Dan Jansen. Rocked the SS category in the Ultra 100 Series and famously hit 30+ no handed on the SS. (into a headwind, uphill both ways).
Jesse LaLonde. Graves Disease? Fuck it. He came strong anyway. Stars and Bars of the team variety at 9Mile. Super Fan for his bros. (and I didn't even mention the BKB.)
Your Mom. Face it. She rocked that Schwinn in her day.
Rich Dillen. "Worlds" Victory. TransRockies on just One. Great Ultra100 results. Manly yes, but I like him too. Will he unleash his Karl Rove (I am sure that's too harsh) tactics to win the Blogger election away from Danielle? It worked for Race Face TR vote.
Paddy Humenny. The only Canadian on the list (I think) and he wants to move. I guess Dallas is a shoe-in for the Canadian prize next year. Keeps killing his blog, but have you ever noticed the number of positive comments he throws out to people? Solid.
Mark LaLonde. The Darkness. A is for Action. Marko is just a mother fuckin' badass. You'd latch on to his wheel, but you can't. Stars and Bars. Results for 06 you wish you had.
Matt Wills. Long rides, short rides, you name it he brings it and makes it fun. Committed to Rigid? Check. Rocking the pink SS? Check. One of Lincoln's Finest.

isn't it obvious: Your Mom
or Cellerat
...Dallas rides????
Can I do a half vote for Jesse and a half vote for Marko? Once again I fear the BKB contract hit if I favor either one. Ah, fuck it I'm votin' for Mom. She's in her eighties and still rockin' the Schwinn!
I just thought I would provide some historical perspective, JFK had graves disease.
David Nice for the win. SS committed and fixed ALL YEAR :) Plus he's a super nice guy.
Thanks for the nice words everyone! Paddy gets my nod though.
I think I have it figured out. Dan Jansen gets my vote for SS'er of the year. Dicky get's my vote for endurance cyclist of the year, which leaves blogger of the year....still open :-)
Go Dave!
dan jansen. dude can also ride backwards on the handle bars faster than most people can just ride.
I vote Dicky!
Dan Jansen - The only reason NOT to vote for him is if you have something aginst the love of a man for his goat...
Joe
wills edges out your mom.
pink soulcraft is cooler than rusty schwin.
Dan Jansen....homeboy schooled em all.
I vote for W.
W.
Got to go with Dicky. SM100 fixed.
"I like Your Mom and it's no fad/
I wanna marry her and be your dad"
My vote is for Your Mom. Honorable mention to Mr. Creepy Friendly.
my vote is for Eric peterson. Original gravel road destroyer, but he doesn't do the long rides with company, rather, alone, solo, for 15 years or so, no blog either, so you can't see or read about him, but he's out there.
all the others are great choices too, specially wills.
nate
oops, i need to read better, only couple of those years were on the SS. i stink.
oh crap......
this one is hard. Anyone who rocks the SS like any of these guys is a winner in my mind.
That said I'm going for mw. Quietly racking up more miles than you could shake a stick at and a hulluva great guy ta boot.
bouncing souls, no one can beat us, we drink beer and wear addidas...
On a more relevant note, Cellerat all the way. He showed up for the GDR. That takes balls alone.
Namrita....first female to complete the FireWater 50 on a SS! http://www.namrita.blogspot.com/
...or from the nominated list: Dicky again...Eastside represent!
Eddie O
its gotta be dicky for trans-rockies. and dallas don't ride.
Dan Jansen is the man. He's faster than Your Mom.
Cellerrat, the fixie anarchist, who rides to ride--kind of like art for art's sake. or maybe he's just drunk all the time and his riding has nothing at all poetic about it. anyway, he rides a lot.
Can I split my vote into thirds?
Jesse, Marko and MW. All kick ass and all are massively inspiring.
Dicky. World Champ and TR.
the only two letters you need to know are:
mw
he's my vote. he'd be my mom's vote too...
mw.
and thats a wrap.
Piss on it. I vote for myself. What? I can't like myself? My therapist says I can.
