Celebrating Fifty Thousand Visitors

Approximately a half hour ago the 50,000th visitor to The Cycling Dude briefly stopped by via the Blog  Bikin' Bis.

Ever since the Instalanche , a week ago, my daily traffic has been at least double what it was before, and so I knew that my earlier prediction of celebrating this milestone around Christmas would be off by a bit. ;-D

I absolutely LOVE Sitemeter since it added all its new toys for telling you about your traffic. ;-D

Here's hoping this unknown person returns on a regular basis in the future, and spreads the word about The Cycling Dude!
