Thank you for CR, both the list and the site, Dale. I would love to make the Cirque someday too.

I'm a dad, husband of a working mom, a software engineer and a measly category 4 racer. I ride my bike as much as I can, including an average 140 commuting miles a week. I do maintain a couple of web sites and I know the burnout of which Dale speaks! It's a largely thankless job where you give and others take, without many thank-you's.

The http://wooljersey.com/gallery site was easy to set up, and except for some user support has been relatively self-maintaining. It has also been a lot of fun for me, and I've learned a lot from the bikes posted there. My dream is that the site is sort of a never-ending bike show / gallery / museum. I'd like you to think of it as yours. There's very little "Morgan Fletcher" to it.

It's free, it's yours to use. If you'd like an account please contact me and I'll set you up. It's a fun way to share your cool bikes with the rest of CR and also the world. Think about the beautiful bikes that are holed up in some garages / attics / basements / shops. The owner sees them, enjoys them, maybe his friends and family too. Sharing photos and text on a web site broadens the enjoyment and knowledge of those bikes tremendously, with no detriment.

I don't think http://wooljersey.com/gallery takes away from anyone or anyting, in fact I hope that it adds to the world's enjoyment of bicycles.

I have some other ideas for http://wooljersey.com that are in the same vein - sharing knowledge and appreciation of bicycles. If you want to help, or you've got ideas, let me know. I run the machine with some friends and the site by myself - such as it is. It's all open-source, free software. It's just a fun hobby site.

Aside: I'm racing tomorrow, my training is going well and I'm just happy to be on a bike. Any CR members doing the Solvang Double Century?
