North End Nana Award 2012

Okay, let's get the ball rolling. This is an occasional award at the end of the season for Meritorious Misdemeanours.

Previous winners have been Steve Purser for separating himself from his bike via the bonnet of a car in a sportive and erstwhile PNE rider Richard Pearman for getting to the start line in a road race only to realise he hadn't pumped his tyres up, thus having to chase the entire race down five minutes later. Dave Gwilliam should have been awarded a Nana t-Shirt for spectacularly failing to negotiate the twin roundabouts at Bunkers Hill, Denmead a couple of years ago.

First up this year is Charlie C-H for managing to go all the way out to the HRC Hilly 22 and sign on only to get lost between there and the start line half a mile away thus missing his ride. At least our good friends the HRC gave him his money back!

Any other nominations? (Don't you DARE mention last Tuesday...)

How about Tom in the same time trial for following a sportive sign to take him up West Marden which was not part of the course?

Also a second nomination for Charlie in the Southern Spring Classic Sportive for missing a sign and adding an extra 10 miles to his course, as 73 clearly was not enough for him!

How are we awarding points in this league?

Paul for his literal 'out of the saddle sprinting'........the idea is to stay on the bike, not get off it completely!.........(and I never mentioned Tuesday)
