Dude, I link to your blog as well. I think I have more comments on your blog in the last 24 hours (about when I started reading it entry by entry instead of skipping around) than I do on anyone's (in a 24 hr period) I also just bought one of your super sweet jersey's; can't wait to see them in person! I'm not QUITE a Clydesdale (187), but I was until just recently. My own B7 attempt (I was unaware you were doing it until last night) was due to LFOAB and also my own new years resolutions. So far I've only lost 10lbs, but I'm getting there.

I don’t have a blog. But there are two cycling blogs that I love to read – yours and this one, which I think it would be great for you to link to. (sheesh my grammar sucks today):

It’s a commuter cycling blog from Portland. It’s a hoot.

I link to your site, and I’ve mentioned the B7 contest several times. I’m certainly fat enough. :-)

Oh come on now. Let’s not forget about the friends you left out in the cold. You must like to the Random Reviewer

I like the short, random selection idea. People are more likely to actually look at your links if they are constantly changing. The fact that it leaves room for other content is just a bonus. I would do that on my blog if I only knew how.

By the way, I link to you.

One that I have found very interesting is a guy cycling from DC to Brazil (currently in Mexico):

Speaking of links, this reminds me of sausage links which makes me think of those little Jimmy Dean Sausage microwave biscuit thingys, which i know aren’t good for you but taste good. So, maybe a link to Jimmy Dean? Oh wait, everybody is now watching their weight and can’t be bothered with this nonsense. Nevermind.

Wow … thanks for the link! And I’m not even enrolled in the B7 challenge. But I have a Fat Cyclist jersey coming my way. It took a month’s worth of milk money, but it’s worth every penny. I can’t wait to see what it looks like atop six polar fleece layers. Oh wait … I may have accidentally ordered a small.

Have fun at Gooseberry Mesa. I am shaking with jealously right now. Gooseberry was were I sustained my first full-leg raspberry, back in 2001. Good times.

I like the A list with a rotating “newcomers B list” idea so long as the rotating list is not too hard for you to manage. I’d rather you spend your time away from work/family writing witty blog entrees and riding your beloved bikes.

It would be great if you could make the A list like book store/video store recommendations from employees. “Fatty likes this blog because it improves my life in this way” type of recommendations. Personally, I don’t take tons of time to surf for blogs but if I saw a list from a blogger I find interesting (like you Fatty) then I may be inspired to check out those blogs as well. You could work to create a little blogging community. Have fun riding this weekend!

I made a typo in my own web address in the above comment :P

http://epicriding.blogspot.com is the correct site.
