What started off as a simple blogger based thought gathering page for mountain biking related content, ended up being full out cycling related blog and 374 articles later&#8230;we are growing like crazy! I would like to think that it is because I have an extremely cool online persona, but the truth is&#8230;it is because of you guys! Thank you for the support and interaction over the past year. It has been a lot of work, but Mountain Biking by 198 is nothing without it&#8217;s readers.</p><h3>The Mountain Biking by 198 Design</h3><p>Over the past year, we have seen 4 different blog designs until we finally got something that really works. That is thanks to the guys over at <a

Speaking of the Shatt&#8230;he was also brought on as a partner in early 2009 as we progress into other disciplines of cycling and grow this site (and others in the oneninety8 network) to that next level.</p><p><a
