"One Fucking Gear" - Single Speeder of the Year

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.

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.

Chris said...

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.

Danielle Musto said...

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 :-)

I wanna marry her and be your dad"

My vote is for Your Mom. Honorable mention to Mr. Creepy Friendly.

Guitar Ted said...

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.

its gotta be dicky for trans-rockies. and dallas don't ride.

Scott said...

Dan Jansen is the man. He's faster than Your Mom.

gjc said...

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.

Mark Savery said...

Can I split my vote into thirds?

Jesse, Marko and MW. All kick ass and all are massively inspiring.

allan said...

Dicky. World Champ and TR.

MG said...

the only two letters you need to know are:

mw

he's my vote. he'd be my mom's vote too...

sda said...

mw.

and thats a wrap.

dicky said...

Piss on it. I vote for myself. What? I can't like myself? My therapist says I can.
