Year One Is Over!
I didn’t even realize that the anniversary had come and gone. The first whole year is complete for FrontageRoads.com. Over the course of a year the focus has shifted to mostly bike related content, but that’s mostly because of time. I wish I was able to do more hiking, motorcycling, backpacking and fly fishing. But I’ve really been enjoying my cycling.
It’s interesting to look back on the year and see how excited I was to complete my first metric century and then my first brevet. Those hurdles have inspired me to reach for even higher goals and I’m really excited to see where I will be at this time next year.
The most rewarding part of maintaining this blog, that I didn’t know when I started, is meeting other people that have similar interests. I’ve been lucky to meet and communicate with some amazing and inspiring people through this blog. They are partly to blame for these lofty goals that I’ve set for myself.
The readership has been slowly increasing over the past couple of months. I think it may be due to finding my niche in the blogosphere. Lately I’ve been focused on Randonneuring and it looks like I’m building an audience. Thoughts? Do you care about the ride stats? Ride reports too long-winded? Whatever. I’m always open to feedback, so please feel free to leave a comment.
Thanks to all the regular readers for checking in, and welcome to the new readers. I hope you’ll stick around for the next year. It’s going to be pretty exciting.
Congrats on the blog-iversary
Honestly, yours is one of the few personal blogs I read regularly. It’s full of good tips and information, educational and inspiring. You write well and keep your reader in mind.
Looking forward to your Grand Tour report.
Congrats! It gets easier, and harder, from here. Sort of like riding.
I think it’s amazing that you went from doing your first metric century last year to these crazy long rides you’re doing now, in so little time.
I like the long-winded ride reports, and especially your photos. I also like the gear posts. Basically, keep doing what you’re doing!
Congrats Errin. I like all things related to bikes and pictures. Someday I will get out there to ride with you. Ggod luck with year two , both here on the blog and out there with your goals.
Errin – I found your blog pretty recently, but I think you’ve got a great range of topics and your writing finds a good balance between personal and general experience. Lots of fun to read! Dodger http://www.1200km.com
Thanks for all the comments. It is both challenging and rewarding this bloggin’ business. I’m really enjoying the process, and all the people I meet because of it.
Errin, that is excellent. I enjoy your posts so hope you will keep riding and writing
