5 months and 10,000+ later
Exactly 5 months ago I decided to start writing a cycling travel blog. I was inspired by my brother Michael who had always encouraged me to do something with the domain name PedalDancer.com that I bought back in 2003. I was also motivated by a friend who was traveling at the time in Belgium for the Spring Classics. I needed an outlet for my voracious appetite to hear travel and cycling stories all wrapped into one.
What better way to learn and hear about a topic then to write about it. Writing meant I would be experiencing all facets of my favorite two topics - cycling and travel. If I was curious I could learn, if I was interested I could go, if I was excited I could share. Thanks for sharing the interest along with me and viewing my blog 10,000 times.
Thanks for following!
