After last year I thought about a little contest again, that was a bit more mainstream...
So basically this is what last year's competition was:-
The changes I'm going to make are that you take a photograph of someone else or yourself going up, going down or at the top of a hill/mountain instead. It can include the summit or a picture of a height sign but that is not particularly necessary, but I'd envisaged it more being about downhill (boo) and views than just summits.. So perhaps you might have a photo of a group of fridays jerseys going down a steep hill. It is not necessary to do the Monte Crostis (although I'd be very impressed if you did).
This year due to the challenges of downhill I will allow headcam stills taken from videos or camera stills. You can submit pretty much anything you want, although I'd like it to be a climb listed on climbbybike or an official climb/descent on one of the Fridays rides (and hopefully somewhere with google streetview).
I've lined up some top judges for this and the winner will win a bottle of whisky that I haven't decided yet, I have to consult the three wise men (gregcollins, User482 and charlieB).
The competitions open at the start of the Ramsgate FNR and ends on Monday 27th of August at 02:13:00 to hopefully be presented for the Brighton ride on the 31st of August 2012. Photos will be taken between these dates (so mine from last year doesn't count as an entry). Happy riding.
Another parallel competition will run. Same rules, but with a CC Jersey. The prize will be a CC buff and another similar prize to the first one.
