Well for the moment at least…

That’s right all you cool people. I’ve decided with not much really is happening in the cycling world of Rhys, it’s time I had a break from my website.

So what does that mean? My articles, my pics, everything will still be held here for the whole world to see. It’s just that I won’t be updating things anymore.

However if one day I decide things are worth blogging about again - perhaps another overseas trip; perhaps a big season ahead; a new team; whatever it may be - I may just decide to continue my site as if nothing ever happened. And you’ll be the first to know about it if you suscribe yourself using these handy tools…

The alternative is that I may decide to never blog again. That’s to be decided I guess. Who knows?

In the meantime, you can still comment on my past posts (I’ll still check them when they come through) or get to me via MySpace or Facebook. I’ll still be around… somewhere.

So now is the time to say thanks to all the cool people - that’d be you guys - for reading, looking, commenting, laughing or just browsingwhat I’d like to call the website formerly known as RhysSmith dot com. You’re the guys that encouraged me when I needed it, or indeed forked out some flack when I needed that. So thanks guys. But now I think is a good time to say goodbye…

Where it all began: Before the start of my first race in Europe

This, on NineMSN:

Hell ride cyclists blamed for death:

July 26, 2007: The Coroner has slammed the manic behaviour of Hell ride cyclists at the inquest for an elderly man who was struck and killed last year.

And now the clever people at TheAged, have started an on-line poll: “Should the notorious Hell Ride be banned?”. Current votes suggest 53% say “yes”, the rest of us, say “no”.

My personal take on all this is brilliantly summed up by the “Treadly and Me” blog, found here…

That’s all from me for now.

Ciao. Rhys  

Yesterday when I asked “who’s next?”, I was really hoping the answer wouldn’t be le Maillot Jaune…

Merde!

Again.
