What happened to BentRiderOnline?

I haven't been able to get into www.bentrideronline.com for several days now. Have others seen the same problem? Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks,
Chris

The link is working for me, best regards

Stan

Worked just fine for me, I even enjoyed Larry Varney's "Mighty 400" article.

Sounds like I'll have to make plans for next Mother's Day weekend.

No problem with the site myself.

Some time ago,Brian mentioned problems with the server
cutting off due to high volume (lots of hits). I got a
few "unavailable"messages at that time. None since.

Thanks for the replies, the problem is obviously on my end. I started using Mozilla instead of MS Internet Explorer, but even MSIE just sits there with the status
Opening page http://www.bentrideronline.com/Vol5.4/cover.htm

I'll figure it out.

It's a fun ride - and I recommend the Tour of the Scioto
River Valley to everyone - it's not really that tough,
just a few rollers along the southern third. And the
murals on the floodwalls in Portsmouth make it all
worthwhile. But don't stop with just that article - read
the rest of them. Maybe I'll see you - and lots of other
readers/posters on Bike Florida, GITAP, TRIRI, the
Florida Bicycle Safari, etc.!

Chris,

I'm having the same problem. I use Mozilla as well. I did a
bunch of updates on Mozilla apps, Thunderbird, Firefox and
Moz 1.7 and then discovered the problem with BROL. I have
another PC that I did not update and it's going fine. When I
try to access BROL, it says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1 which is
weird...that's Localhost..

I've heard from a couple of people that they've been having
problems getting in. I'm not sure what the common
denominator is. I'm using Mozilla (on Linux), but I haven't
updated it lately. I wonder if that's a clue? If everyone
who is having problems, did they recently make some changes
to their browser and/or computer in general? I do think that
'waiting for 127.0.0.1 may be a smoking gun as well.

I had been running Moz 1.7 betas with no problems and installed the 1.7
rinal release last week as well as upgrading the other Mozilla aps. The
first thing I noticed last week was that the upper frame was blank, but
the lower frame displayed OK. Now, the line separating the frames
appears and nothing else. I've checked the nosts file and nothing as
added so I'm stumped. IE doesn't work now either, BTW.

Varney is doing nothing but easy rides. He needs to go West
and do some more difficult rides. I recommend BRAN
(Nebraska) or CANDISC (North Dakota) and he would soon find
out what he is made of.

I'm using Netscape 7 (Gecko/20030624) under Win2k and don't
have any problems getting to it.

Switched to FireFox last weekend and haven't been able to
access BRO since also. Every thing else is fine. Weird

Why is anyone using Mozilla when everyone else in the world
is using Microsoft IE? Even Netscape creates problems that I
don't get on IE. I would be interested in hearing what it is
that you don't like about IE. It seems fast but is sometimes
a bit unstable when you pile up too many web sites. What am
I missing?

Similar here, first the banner on top was blank but I could
access the forums from the bottom. Now nothing. Firefox
installed last Sat.

Guess you missed that nationwide call from computer experts
that "it's time to switch" of IE due to the proliferation of
more complex bugs every month. The latest security problem
is MAJOR and not to be ignored. You have been warned.
