Northwest Cycle Report is 4 years old this week. Originally a text-only email newsletter, NWCR has grown into an online magazine for riders in the Northwest.

In celebration of this anniversary, I have added some new features to the site. I have added the Google Friend Connect system to allow you to join the site community. In addition, Google Friend Connect now powers the site’s commenting and polling systems.

Please let me know what you think of these new features.

No anniversary would be complete without thanking those who have contributed to the site: Steve Johann, Michael Pierce, Rob Green, and Ian Stacconi have all been generous in their contributions to the site. A special thanks to Michael Pierce for providing some of the outstanding photographs featured throughout the site.

As the site has grown it has taken more and more time and effort to maintain. As a labor of love I don’t mind either. I do still need some help in the form of advertising sales. If you or anyone you know would be interested in helping advertisers connect with motorcyclists, please contact me. Commission is paid.

Finally I want to thank all of you who read and subscribe to NWCR. Please keep the comments and feedback coming.
