I got caught up reading [Ritchey's Breakaway Blog](http://breakawaytoday.blogspot.com/). The combination of a world tour, photos of a wooden bike, the Rwandan National Cycling Team, and learning more about Tom Ritchey (a Tom Selleck style mustache!) had me at hello. I’ve been racing and riding on the bicycle components Tom’s company manufactures for about 12 years. Ritchey is also a sponsor of my [cycling team](http://www.unionbaycycling.com/) and I just built a new Trek [race bike](http://www2.trekbikes.com/bikes/bike.php?bikeid=1476000&f=1) with their [latest carbon equipment](http://www.ritcheylogic.com/).
Besides all the cycling topics that interest me and being reminded of our [Alaskan Bike Tour](http://texturadesign.com/2004/08/hundreds_of_miles_in_alaska.htm), the Breakaway Blog is a perfect example of posting with passion and what to write about. As the blog says, Tom explores “ways to put his passion for the bicycle and his connections in the bike industry to good use.” And that good use is found on a blog.
