Merckxy Christmas and a Coppi New Year
To each and every one of you in our community, we’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and involvement in our community.
Velominati is a project born of passion more than planning, and the fact that we’ve managed to gain your support means the world to us; over the years I’ve come to consider many of you friends, despite never (or rarely) having met any of you in person. Our Cogals are a testament to how our community straddles the physical and virtual worlds and it continues to amaze me; when I founded Velominati in 2009 and Bretto jumped on board soon after, I never imagined where this would go. Thanks to each of you for the gift you give us Keepers by being part of the community and letting your voice be heard (even when that voice is telling us we’re a bunch of idiots – you’re not wrong.)
In the spirit of the community, we are also excited to hint at a major refresh of the site to be launched later this week. Our site’s design, done by KRX-10 in 2009, has aged better than most, but design and technology has evolved considerably and it’s time for an update. The first step is a ground-up rebuild of the site with some exciting new features including basic social networking features including friending and following fellow community members, as well as the ability to privately message each other. We feel this will greatly enhance the sense of community. Consider that our Christmas gift to you for 2015, but more features will follow throughout 2015, so buckle your seatbelts!
Thanks go to each and every one of you for your contribution and loyalty; we wish you a Merckxy Christmas, one and all!

Merckxy Christmas and a Festivus New Year for all. And may Cancellara crush the youth one last time in the Spring Classics.
And a merry Christmas and happy New Year back to you Keepers, and to all the other Velominai.
I hope your trees are laden with Velogifts.
I'm still waiting for mine - it's 0342 in London and I'm wide awake, having just flown back from Dubai yesterday.
Bloody time zones.
Merry Christmas to all, and may all your climbs in the New Year be taken on the Big Ring.
A bike waiting by the tree for Christmas morning... cheers all
Keepers and Velominati; Have a great Christmas.
If you've laid down enough V there may be something in his sack for you.
A very Merck Christmas to you all too
Merry Christmas to you all and to those that you love.
@ChrisO
Are you hoping one of @frank's gifts will be an edit function on posts? Hope the time zones work in your favour at some point.
Merckxy good times to you all, as the 25th comes to an end down in these parts.
Thanks to everyone who makes this more than just a fun thing to do...
A Velo Mellow Christmas to all. May all your New Year kilometers be smooth and V - unless they are on cobbles. In which case may they be crushing ones.
