I think I enjoy reading about cycling almost as much as actually cycling, so how about a thread for everyone's favorite randonneuring, and rando related blogs.

I really like Chris Kulckycki's velo-orange blog (http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/), it's the only one I frequent almost daily.

How about everyone else?

The closest thing I have to a blog is my website http://www.machka.net/ which I need to update with all my rides for 2007 ... I really, really hope to have that done before the end of 2007.

And then there's Rowan's website about Ultra-Cycling, Touring, etc.: http://www.cycling-adventurer.net/

hearty second to Kent Peterson's blog.

my own online journal is up here: http://cris.livejournal.com/. It's not randonneuring specific, but most of the cycling specifics are semantically tagged, so you can just read http://cris.livejournal.com/tag/cycling, if you just want the brevet/randonneuring stuff.

Strictly speaking, Steve did 28,700 km of 200+km brevets on fixed a few years ago. This year, he did about 40,500 km of 200+km brevets, virtually all on fixed (less than 2000 km on gears). Yes, he has a full-time job...

Well I bow to your clearly superior knowledge. All I know is he is clearly hard as nails and probably a little crazy.:)

Good stuff ... but touring, I believe, not Randonneuring.

Well mine has a lot of Randonneuring on it but also includes some of my other things I am involved in too (running and triathlons).
