Adventure Cycling's Top 10 Blog Posts of All Time

Checking out our blog stats is always interesting. A few days ago, I decided to review our top ten posts of all time. (We've been blogging now for about 2 years.) Lots of fun finds!

Our work to improve guidelines for rumble strips and our efforts to create an official U.S. Bicycle Route System snagged three spots in the top ten, including #1. Josh Tack's excellent Touring Gear and Tips column prevailed with his review of the Surly Long Haul Trucker ranking 2nd and his roundup of new touring bikes from the year's Interbike event landing in 5th place. Guest contributor Friedel Grant of TravellingTwo.com grabbed 6th place, and it was also really fun to see that the short documentary video project, The Cycling Eight, by our 2011 summer intern, Heather Andrews, garnered 4th place. (Congrats Heather!)
