road.cc now with added blogs…

Persiflage, verbiage, wit, wisdom and insight - all in a day's work for the road.cc bloggers...

There's a new button on the road.cc nav-bar. As of today we're blogging. We'll be using our blogs to tell you about what we're up to, stuff we've seen on our travels and, of course, to sound off occasionally about things that gets our goat!

As well as the usual members of the team we're also pleased to welcome a new voice to road.cc, VecchioJo, or Jo Burt, as he's known when he's not riding a bike.

You may know Jo as a cycling artist and creator of the legendary mountain biking sheep, Mint Sauce, or maybe that bloke who always looked like he had his saddle up just slightly too high on when he was on the cover of Cycling Plus (as if! He's just got freakishly long legs apparently) as his pen name suggests Jo will mainly be using his blog to talk about being on his bike 'n' stuff.

Rome wasn't built in a day, but we already have some entries on there, and internet connections permitting I'll be blogging from the Cervelo Test Team launch in Portugal this weekend – so if there's anything you every really wanted to ask Carlos Sastre or Thor Hushovd, nip on there and let me know and I'll try and ask it for you… 

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
