Personally I had an absolute blast throughout last wkend and the smiles amongst the posse seemed to reflect my feelings.

What, and no "Most Reliable requiring no faffing whatsoever all weekend" in the bikes stake?! Not saying it's the Liquid (although I'll put my vote in) as I don't think DDave had any issues either, did he? Any other takers? ;)

Brumster, you had a puncture so yours doesn' count :p I also clocked DDave spannerin' his rig a couple of times, so he's out too.
However, I didn't see Jenni havin' any prob's so I'll nominate her rig for the "Most Reliable".

Hey Daaanhilla I know gravity is your mate so if it's good to have more gravity then you're right your pedals get the medals...!
Loudest Snorer was certainly Mark "why do all my mates ears bleed" but I would also vote him best breakfast and fastest learner, he did really well for a daaanhill virgin, hence the biiiig grin! Does he have a blog membership?
Most reliable bike surely should be most work done/load over least spannerin which despite only riding it twice gives my vote to the Endozer. Dan isn't big enough to break that immaculate Liquid and Mark's Giant was brand spankin so doesn't qualify.
Uphilla have you solved your shiftin gremlins yet?
