Cycling blogs?

Hello, everyone!

I'm a complete newbie to road biking and just bought myself a new specialized dolce a few weeks ago for my 30th birthday. Woohoo! I've fallen completely in love with cycling and have been reading these forums for a few months now (it's part of what convinced me that I NEEDED a bike).

I was wondering if any of you blog or know of really great cycling blogs out there.

Thanks!

I blog, occasionally about my rides, but mostly about whatever pops into my head. Definitely not anything that will actually help a newbie, but it does provide plenty of opportunities for those who like to blog-surf while procrastinating at work. :p

I recently discovered this blog from a Chicago-area racer. He's a good writer, and his pictures are pretty great, too.

I blog as well. Mostly just photos, some of them bike riding. Mostly just a blog for my mom to check out since she lives in Michigan while I am in Washington.

Fat Cyclist is a great blog. :D

I am a big fan of the Metal Cowboy (Joe Kurmaskie) and his blog is a good read, very funny.

me blog 2!!

I blog...mostly about bike rides, but various other topics... It's more of a journal for me to track how I felt about rides etc. I decided to start one after having read several of my friend's blogs last year. It is kind of funny to look back and what I thought were accomplishments... Somethings are so much easier now! :)

Here's a blog written by a friend. Not all the entries are cycling related though. She has some great links to other blogs and cycling resources.

I'm partial to this one:

And there are links on this blog to individual Bella blogs, and on those blogs are links to other blogs, etc. etc.

Our RAAM blog: www.teambeatcancer.blogspot.com

My sadly neglected blog: www.cyclemama.blogspot.com

My boyfriend's blog: http://www.epictrain.blogspot.com/

Thanks for all the cool blog sites! I've been having a grand time surfing them. I even started my own if you want to check it out:

It still needs some tweaking, but I am glad to get started on it!

Some great ones have already been listed. Here are some more I like:

So, I'm new to this whole blogging thing. Tell me, are there any unspoken rules I should know about, such as: can I link to other's blogs with wild abandon, or should I ask for permission first?
I'm sure I'll have more questions soon...my mind is swimming with all the new possiblilities! :p
Thanks to all of you for your cool links! I especially like yours, Dianyla! Fat Cyclist is local stuff for me. :D

That's a good question! I'm not totally certain of the answer, but I think that most people really want others to read their blogs and would be happy to be "linked to". You know, as long as your link list doesn't read something like "for a good time, click...". :D

Technically our website is blog, since we use Wordpress. But it's really more of a place to put photos so family and friends can see what we're up to.

When I started doing doubles my club asked to do reports on training and I have put those there as well as other ride reports. I enjoy the process of writing.

Thom has been busily converting a lot of our old stuff this week that wasn't done in Wordpress. It's been interesting to look back at what we were doing in 2004.

Hey Veronica-

Gorgeous blog site! I just peeked over there while waiting for my pancakes to digest. :) Love the pics and your (and Thom's) writing style. Oh, and the piano room is beautiful! Good luck with all those doubles!

I don't blog... I don't have time in my day to load too many sites on the net, but I kind've semi-blog here

I have a thread in race results where I sort-of blog about my rides and races and bikes... quite a few of the gals here do something similar in one or more of their own threads...
