I nearly won a blogging award last week.
But in the end I was pipped to the post by the excellent Bike Shop Girl.
I’m still happy. I was delighted even to make it into the nominations, and never expected that an amateur blog like mine would stand any chance against some of the big names I was competing against.
And given that the awards were based on a public vote, I suspect I have a lot of you to thank for my near-success.
So, thank you.

As you know, I became a fan of your blog during the Crank Honors voting and am so happy to have had the opportunity to meet you. It was very close and I really thought your blog would win the women’s category….but you should still feel very proud.
Congratulations on proving a great blog to your readers.

Congratulations! Your blog is amazing. I know close to nothing about bikes, but I love reading your pieces. They’re glorious. You’re glorious.
But I do not want to look at the cupcake, I want to eat the cupcake.

I didn’t vote for you. I had never heard of this award. But I’ve looked at Bike shop girl’s blog and I must say I prefer yours – it’s more interesting because it’s more personal, as opposed to being a bike mag in electronic format.
