Road Rider of the Month - RRofM - January -
Something a bit different this month.
This month its all about the riders. Retro Road Riders, racers, tourers anything as long as its on the road.
This is open for people to nominate their favourite or most admired, respected rider.
This could be Eddy Merckx, Fausto Coppi, it could be Ed Edwards riding the Flanders sportive, Bagpuss riding through the Pyreness. If they rode what we would now consider an old or retro road bike you can nominate them. So very broad and all encompassing.
Now this may be a good idea or it could be my worst (and last ).
Nominations should have a picture, or two, and a brief paragraph explaining who it is and why you nominated them.
One nomination per person ie: no more than one Eddy Merckx, if someone has nominated them then just wait and vote for that individual.
The vote will poll and the vote will be for the individual nominated, not the person nominating. So no winners this month as people are voting for the person listed.
Just so we are sure.
This might backfire drastically but its something a bit different and remember its all in the name of good fun. So no bitching, if you don't like someones nomination then counter with who you think is better. Remember they don't have to be a star or world champ, just someone you think is cool or interesting.
Usual rules, nominations open until the last day of the month and then a poll for 5 days.
