Announcement: FatCyclist is Moving to a New Home

04.1.2015 | 10:02 am

UPDATE 2: I really wish my transcriptionist and accountant would talk more frequently. As it turns out, neither The Outer Line nor The Inner Ring have purchased my site. Instead, my accountant mistakenly thought that a recent sale of a used chainring I made on ebay was in fact the sale of my site. 

This, of course, was completely incorrect. As anyone should be able to guess, my site is easily worth at least twice as much as a used chainring.

I’m happy to reveal that in reality I have actually sold my site to Red Kite Prayer. An updated version of the announcement follows.

Dear Readers,

Ten years ago today, I launched this blog. In that ten years, I have learned to yodel, been given (but have not learned to ride) a unicycle, and have glowered menacingly at any number of household pets.

That seems like enough.

I’m very pleased to announce that general-purpose cycling commentary site Red Kite Prayer has purchased this domain. In the next couple of weeks, I will be transitioning all Fat Cyclist archives to Red Kite Prayer.

Or at least the ones they want. OK, to be honest, they’re making it pretty clear that they are happy to let me take my time and that maybe they don’t want any of the stuff I’ve written after all.

As part of the terms of this arrangement, I will be writing for Red Kite Prayer on an ongoing basis. Specifically, I’ll be writing extensive comments in reaction to other posts. By which I mean I’ll be commenting in the comment section.

It should be awesome.

UPDATE 1 

Due to an unfortunate error by a transcription service, it has come to my attention that FatCyclist has not been purchased by The Inner Ring. 

FatCyclist has actually been purchased by The Outer Line. 

An updated version of the announcement follows.

Dear Readers,

Ten years ago today, I launched this blog. In that ten years, I have written hundreds of stories, eaten millions of calories, made many cookies, and publicly eaten a non-finite number of avocados. 

That seems like enough.

I’m very pleased to announce that pro cycling commentary site The Outer Line has purchased this domain. In the next couple of weeks, I will be transitioning all Fat Cyclist archives to The Outer Line. 

You’ll be pleased (I hope) to note that as part of the terms of this arrangement, I will be writing for The Outer Line on an ongoing basis. Mostly, these will be posts where I wring my hands over the state of pro cycling and completely forget that what I like about cycling is riding my bike. It should be awesome.

Uncorrected Original Post

Dear Readers,

Ten years ago today, I launched this blog. In that ten years, I have written thousands of stories, raised millions of dollars for good causes, made hundreds of great friends, and seven enemies. 

That seems like enough.

I’m very pleased to announce that pro cycling commentary site The Inner Ring has purchased this domain. In the next couple of weeks, I will be transitioning all Fat Cyclist archives to The Inner Ring. 

You’ll be pleased (I hope) to note that as part of the terms of this arrangement, I will be writing for The Inner Ring on an ongoing basis. Mostly, these will be posts where I explain the extent of confusion I am experiencing when reading the rest of the site. It should be awesome.

Thank you for reading FatCyclist.com for all these years. You should be re-directed to The Inner Ring automatically, but if you aren’t, please click here to go to INRNG.com.
