    would be pretty wild...like disconnected or happily serendiptous little TE worlds all over the place. I do believe that on some days, there's 1-3 of us here that each engage in an action (not just cycling) that has some connection without our knowledge, to another person's action of that same day.

    Neat idea, and probably oh so true. We rarely know the ways that our actions connect with others. Would we want to?

    I think it would be kinda neat to have a blog for no other reason than to keep my thoughts and photos and links in one place. But I certainly don't have the time to deal with a blog. I started one for my work a few months ago, but I've been too busy to deal with it.

    I'd rather be on my bike or in my (future) garden, or just reading a book.

    We don't think of our website as a blog. For us it's a place to put pictures and write about the event surrounding the pictures. Our families are both back east and it's just a way of staying in touch.

    I do enjoy writing though.

    I like the ongoing nature of a blog - and have kept mine up 'cause there are people who read it I keep telling myself that if I were more consistent with my educational blog, people would read that too, but it hasn't happened yet.
    I also like setting up a Google automatic search for terms, which is how my blog got found its first day and got a comment (totally floored me!). When I was shopping for a Dahon I put that in and then added Xtracycle. So now I get a couple links a day to people who've said that in a blog somehwere, so I can return the favor of saying "hi! you go dude!" from out of the blue.

    I started mine as a record of my cycling all in one place that I could refer to later.

    My little cycling history.

    There are 2 or 3 people that cycle from places other than TE that read it to keep up with me and I read theirs.

    As a way that my family can stay informed of what I'm doing. And also so I don't bore people by droning on and on about training. If they want to read it, they can, if not... shrug. It's also a good way to be accountable. I used to find writing really therapeutic as well, but haven't had enough free time to really get back into it with my blog.
