Back to the "blogosphere"

[shootingstar]

Yes, and I get more and more resistant to posting status updates that are more personal than the occasional "whooo hoooo, great ride", or to post a picture of my bike amidst pretty scenery. I suspect that likely gets tiresome for those who couldn't care less.

This is why I blog about other stuff in addition to cycling. For certain, I don't use my blogs as cycling training blogs. I don't expect people spending precious personal time to know my heart rate, etc.

I like reading about other people's cycling adventures both local and elsewhere. It's always great to get blog comments/visits from other cyclists.

Having a blog has been handy especially for those who do know me personally, instead of me clogging up their email with photos. My family and friends don't use facebook and are familiar with me enjoying to "tell a story" with photos.

And a personal blog, for easy reference when I chat with others on various topics.

I agree entirely about not using a blog as a "training" blog - it is more about about the spirit than the science, I like that I also have a needlework blog that is a combination of needlework and Orthodoxy - adding bikes to the mix really was just too much...though I've not posted there in a couple of years as well.

Marni - I will look for you, thank you!

Bethany - I remember having issues with Wordpress when I originally moved from Blogspot. I wouldn't go back though - and I would love to see your quilting/bike blog so feel free to send me a message with the link if you don't want to make it public here.

I've followed a bunch of yours officially now I'll throw my blog out too, although it's primarily written about training, fundraising, and riding in the ALA's Big Ride. The blog is as much for my friends and family as it is for future Big Riders who wonder how on earth you raise $6,500 and how you train to ride 3,300 miles in a year. I'm still figuring it all out myself!

It's interesting to me how diverse our blogs are. Cycling is so many topics really. Tours, mountain biking, training, you name it. Mine is bike advocacy

Have enjoyed reading through several blogs. Here's mine:


Quilted-With-Love

Blogger just changed everything funky so I might be changing. They are almost as bad as Facebook at messing with perfectly good formats.

I just added my cycling in with my quilting when I started cycling.

Updated the blog yesterday, there is an interesting picture of a bike trailer in my summary of B2WD yesterday

Most interesting and relevant bike blog I keep isn't really a blog, it's a pintrest account. Pintrest is a site where you "pin" images from other sites; the source is always included too if you want to know more. Basically it's a bunch of cool/funny bike pictures I put together with little commentaries:

The blog I update the most is my livejournal, but it's more a tool I use to keep track of things going on in my life, art, bike milestones, pets, events. Things I don't want forget. But you need to have to have a livejournal account to view it, I keep it as friends only. In case any of you are interested:

I post most of my drawings on tumblr. It's something I just started, so there isn't much on it yet, and none of my old stuff:

I also have a needlework blog that hasn't been updated in ages. I like to make my own patterns for cross stitch & free hand, but I've been taking a break lately.

That was the last thing I did (I have a snake icon on my embroidery board too, of course)
Catrin, where is your needlework blog?
