Our blog is not famous or well-known, but it keeps us in touch with family and a few friends. I love that Brian's mom and sister follow us, and that bernicky always keeps in touch. This blog has also allowed us to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones, too. I love getting comments and meeting random people who share similar interests (like Tornadoes28). About a year ago, a local Susono-ite stopped us on the street and asked, "Don't you guys have a blog?"; and just this weekend, an old friend of ours who left Japan about five years ago, happened to stumble across our blog and sent me an email.
It was great to hear from Steve, who doesn't have a blog yet but who is also an avid bike rider. He even provided me with a whole new set of web links to browse in order to help my short attention span keep itself occupied. Happily for the bikers out there, this included a list of good biking links.
Here they are, directly from Steve (hope he doesn't mind me giving him credit):
http://www.bikejournal.com/ - I [Steve] keep track of my cycling stats here. So far, I've done 2,089 km this year, all of it indoors. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get some outside time tomorrow.
http://www.chainlove.com/ - some amazing deals on bike parts, typically 50% off regular cost, but the item is only offered for sale for a few hours. [International shipping is between 39 and 45 usd, but some of these deals look awesome and may be worth it...]
http://bluecollarmtb.com/ - I think you and Brian might like this one, lots of good MTB tips and so on.
http://www.thefredcast.com/ - cycling podcast, updated about weekly, sort of a bike magazine you can listen to and it's free to listen to online or download the MP3.
