posting on what seems to be an almost daily basis.
Not sure exactly why that is, especially after threatening to stop posting all together back in September, but oh well, here's goes my 3rd post of the year, and it's only the 4th of January. I just hope I'm not boring too many people.
It's on days like this, when it's raining, or threatening rain, or I don't plan on riding, or doing much of anything at all, I like to go over who's visiting my blog. I don't get names, or personal information, but I do learn where everyone is from, and how they came to visit my site.
I was surprised when I reviewed the stats from the last few days, not because of where visitors were from (85% US, 5% the UK, and the balance from Canada, Germany, China, Romania etc.), but because of how they came to visit my site.
It seems about half the visitors stumbled across my site through the Huntington Beach Blog, which linked one of their posts on the happenings on New Years day in Huntington Beach, to my story on the annual New Years day bike ride.
That surprised me, because I can't figure out how the publisher of the Huntington Beach Blog, came across my site.
And what I'm even more curious about is how many of those people, who accessed the story, were on the ride, and how many may actually know me?

I found your blog because I subscribe to Google Alerts for Huntington Beach. It was the only description I could find of the ride on Tuesday.
And I'm even more impressed that you read my latest post, and bothered to respond.
Thanks
