Props to Cyclingnews.com!!

[Ronde Champ]

Jeff,

Congrats on your mainstream achievement. We here at RBR knew it all
along. Time for a history of www.cyclingnews.com special report. Does
anybody agree?

Keep up the great work. Is there a place we can donate, or is
clicking on your banner ads enough?

Thanks,
Ronde Champ
King of RBR, Fan of CN.com

Cyclingnews in Men's Journal's top 100

Cyclingnews.com is featured in the August 2004 issue of the USA
magazine Men's Journal special survey section called The 100 Best
Websites for Guys.

The magazine has assembled what it believes is "a list of everything
guys want online, from top river-rafting outfitters, non-limit poker
parties to half-naked girls fishing for large-mouth bass". And sites
about cycling.

Other categories of Websites in the MJ list cover outdoors, cars,
motorcycles, high-tech, tools, movies, online games and "just plain
insane".

Up your Meds? Yes, I wonder what the state of rbr would be like without CN,
but let's obstain since it's negative. Competition is good, so be thankful
for half a dozen other sites as well.

Thanks for the kudos. Here's a condensed summary:
http://www.cyclingnews.com/adpage/about.php. I just realised the site is 9.5
years old (I started in '99). I also just realised that I've never read
Men's Health. Oh well, there's still time.

1. No and 2. It helps.

Jeff (still commuting on beaten up MTB with 3 busted spokes and twisted
pedal. Not that that's a bad thing)

Jeff - that photo you took from your apartment window the day they
cancelled Het Volk has been my computer wallpaper ever since. Which one
of those bikes is yours?

You mean this one?
http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2004/feb04/hetvolk04/index.php?id=cn1

I think mine's in the bottom left hand corner, right next to the bike with a
plastic bag over the seat. I can't really tell.

I've actually had this one as my wallpaper since then:
http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2004/feb04/hetvolk04/index.php?id=cn368.
Looks OK on a black background, but I wish I hadn't deleted the big version!

cheers,
Jeff (in favour of Tour rest days)

Aha -

My bike's well out of shot because there's another rack or two of bikes off
the LHS of that pic.

People generally seemed undeterred about getting to work by bike, but it was
the first time I've ever ridden in snow.

Still living on coffee and bread? Just kidding. I remember you said that
once. You probably get a bonus in July, so you can throw in some danish
instead of bread.

I don't think any serious racer is interested in that magazine, because
a "six pack" stomach is not in the cards for cyclists. I find it
comforting that pro road racers can have less than 5% body fat without
the Men's Health cover abs.

Maybe this explains why Heather does speedskating
