2010 Doughboy Awards

As we conclude 2010 (The Year of the Big Ride), it's time to pass out some awards. Winners have been nominated by the Shavers' Committee, and ratified by the Grand Poobah of the Pelo. Please hold all complaints until after the 2011 awards have been announced.

Recruiter - Malo. This guy has recruited about ten riders, which about equals the number of rides he has taken with the Club.

Turkey Leg - VJ knows how to smell the roses baby.

Polar Roller - Ullrich heats up when the temperature drops.

Hincapie - the Yeti gets this award for being the most selfless cat in the peloton.

Big Ride Points - Coach takes the participation trophy, with 11 ride points in 2010. Time for the rest of you slackers to get on the bike!

Combative - AT. The king of the futile break, AT is cut from the Cippolini cloth!

Renshaw - Hoodie can draft three riders back in the paceline, creating a virtual chamber of solitude. Some may call it an armchair!

Most Improved - Fitz McPhaul. On the bike, less is more. Big Tree became the Splinter, and made Power-to-Weight his favorite ratio.

Loose Cannon- Who has inspired more nicknames than anyone else in the pelo? Wulf, Taz, GeorgeMichael, La-velle. Am I missing any?

TT- Bergamo. Combo of him and his TT bike? Deadly.

Sprinter - Coach. Hoodie might take this one in 2011, but it's the atomic calves in 2010.

Le Grimpeur - Gotta be Mauricio. Beat the rest of the Dough by an hour (moving time) on the TdH.

Cross Rider - El Rey. Hands down our best mudder. Likely our best road guy too, but  you gotta log more than two Dough Rolls to qualify.

GC/All-Around - Mauricio. If we ever race as a team, Panozz will be the guy we protect. Able to hold a wheel regardless of the pitch.
