Mebbe.
Looking at the stats the other day I came across this site which linked over to mine:
Project Clarity
![Charlotte Marketing and PR Blogs of Note](http://www.opusresults.com/blog/wp-content/themes/forewordthinking/thumb.php?src=http://www.opusresults.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/358873759_7cdfea318a_b1.jpg&h=200&w=600&zc=1&q=95)
About this site
Project Clarity is Mark Harrison's marketing communications and public relations blog. Mark lives and works in Matthews, NC, where he is founder and principal of Opus Communications.
Mark had this to say about my blog (he mentioned some other stuff, but it wasn't about me, so let's just skip over that):
"Bad Idea Racing — not a marketing blog, but a brilliant lesson in self-promotion from Charlotte “unprofessional cyclist” and bike messenger Rich Dillen."
Did you read that? BRILLIANT. I bet none of you reading my daily verbiage realized that I was providing you with a brilliant lesson, did you? And self promotion? I had no idea this is the direction my blog was currently headed. I thought I was allowing myself to be unwittingly (to you, the reader) used as a marketing tool by my sponsors, but this whole time this blog has been about me? Please, please, please nobody tell my sponsors that I am trying to promote myself here. Don't worry, none of them actually read the stuff I write, but we don't want them getting an earful of bad information, do we? They (my glorious and most generous sponsors) don't need to be bothered with this trivial detail. Let's just let them sit back and watch the sales go through the roof while I shill along with a little sing and dance to sell their products like snake oil to the unknowing masses.

it is entirely appropriate that during actual riding months your revenue generating capacity decreases.
clearly the lemmings are willing to buy what they're told, not so much after they've seen the results.
like a portly weight loss consultant or flat chested hooters girl, you have no business teaching calculus.
I think I gotcha beat.....
I watched "Momma Mia" on the trainer Sunday. One hour and 40 minutes of actors and actresses randomly bursting out ABBA songs. (Too embarrassed to admit that it was a DVD)
But I didn't puke!!
PMBAR training in full effect.
I actually found myself watching an infomercial while spinning this winter. It was for a "monster steamer" and I actually wanted to order it by the time I was done spinning. Brain washed!
Danielle,
Wow.
I had to google Monster Steamer to make sure it wasn't some kinda sexual act.
i'm hoping (will be 'hopping' on easter) that I will not have to ride in my basement on the trainer until next winter. won't be on the trails anytime soon, still two feet of snow in the woods. but the roads are clear and mostly dry - lots of road work to be had - still better than being inside
