Future of the Yangmingshan Cycling Club Blog

Hello cycling friends-

Congratulations on the racing this weekend- sounds like a great time was had by all. Does anyone have a full race report? I wish I could have been there...

In the past two years, we have tracked the spring racing scene and more on the blog http://taipeiycc.blogspot.com. Past North Coast race reports can be accessed by going back to March 2006 and March 2007 posts. When I departed Taiwan this past summer, Dave took over the maintenance of the blog. With Dave's passing, I am the only one with administrative access. Anyone can post to the blog by sending an email to yangmingshan.post @ blogger.com, but it is probably a good idea to have an administrator overseeing the site in case spammers start posting. It is an easy task to change the email address that allows posting.

If you are interested in taking over this blog, please let me know, and I will give you the administrative login information. I am happy to be the distance administrator if no one wants to step forward- I can post race reports and the like that are emailed to me and watch out for spammers- but if no one steps forward, perhaps this blog should end. Craig Johns is doing an excellent job maintaining the blog/site http://taiwanracing.com/. This may be sufficient for the needs of the expat cycling community.

I am open to suggestions.

Regards,

Bill
