I first began publishing my blog as if were a printed periodical back in 2017.
Having a background in magazine publication and design, it seemed natural to publish my blog/website periodically. My primary goal was to focus on reports from my varied cycling adventures in Wales. Over time, my content expanded to include unique photo galleries, charts & tables documenting the details of my rides, and eventually specifically designed routes to ride. The first five years are listed as Version 1. Then, in 2022 and starting with Volume 06, I introduced a completely new re-design which incorproates a wider page layout and larger photos and this I call Version 2.
Note: You can click on the volume/publication date shown below to view the issues for that specific year.

Details, details, details...
I've created a table to outline the content of each issue with the notion that I might go back and create a "Best of Year". We'll see if I have time for it, meanwhile here's how my issues break down.
Everything Else
From 2012 to 2016 I didn't have a formal schedule of when I posted to my blog. In fact, I didn't have a standard approach of how I wrote or what I wrote about. It was all a bit random. Everything prior to 2016 has been placed into My Archive. Over the next few years I plan to update the best posts to my new design.
