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!

@girl Ha, I didn't notice... maybe I wasn't as wide awake as I thought !
And yes an edit function would be almost as welcome as V-casquettes.
Happy Christmas all. May your V-estivities be on the big ring.
Happy Christmas to all - be sure to fill it with family, good times and (hopefully) riding bikes. Excited to see what changes are on the way for the website.
Auguri my friends!
Merckxy Christmas and happy, safe New Year to The Keepers and fellow Velominati!
@gettingthere
Well said good sir! I happily have a VMH who understands our affliction with 2 wheels and just spent a couple of glorious hours laying down some V to prepare for the racing season ahead.
May the Prophet shine upon all your festivities today. :-)
Merckxy Christmas one and all.
@wilburrox
There was a saddle and seat post under the tree for Angus. At first he though it was because he'd been complaining about how uncomfortable his mtb saddle was. Then he realised...
Shouldn't that read "buck your helmet straps" and/or "cycling shoes"
Excited to see the new website, and all the features.
Merckxy Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
@Kevin
Brett portends to be an "editor" but all he really does is drink beer and pee on things. He's more gnome than elf that way.
@frank
"buck" x2 should be "buckle"
Patiently awaiting an edit function...
