Where's the history of the Gnome award?

In reply to TomWing

I think I received the Benny Bunny award in early 2000's. It was a plastic bunny back then. I don't think I was the first recipient after revival, but I may have been.

In reply to JohnLegere

I put you down for 2002. That's most likely the year. That old plastic bunny was awesome. I think the year Heather won it was when the "new" bunny was purchased. Pretty sure Brian was the last person to get plastic.

I also held a Pro license for MTB. I think I was upgraded to Pro in 2002 after winning the Sobe Expert Series. I've since downgraded to Cat 1.

So noted. Still looking for that 2005 Benny Bunny winner.

I think it was Nyberg.

Seriously? How could I have forgotten that?
