Three nominations for road.cc at Cycling Media Awards 2015

The nominations for the 2015 Cycling Media Awards have been announced today by BikeBiz magazine – and your favourite website, road.cc, is proud to have been nominated in the Best Cycling Website category that we won in the inaugural edition last year.

Also nominated are David Arthur in the Specialist Online Writer category – won last year by his fellow road.cc tech editor, Mat Brett – and Jo Burt, whose blog posts under the VecchioJo nom-de-plume are always beautifully written and eagerly received by readers, and who is nominated for CMA Writer of the Year.

When we launched in 2008, the choice of “cc” as our domain wasn’t because internet addresses in the Cocos Islands were going cheap – it was because we wanted to emphasise the inclusive, “cycling club” ethos of the site.

The launch of Team road.cc earlier this year is very much in line with that philosophy of wanting to build not just a website, but a community.

And while it's always exciting to be nominated for an award - we've won a few, shown in our 'Trophy Cabinet' at the bottom of the page - our chief focus as ever will be to provide you, our readers, with the best cycling advice and news we can.

The winners of the Cycling Media Awards will be announced on Thursday 12 November at the Islington Metalworks in London, and there is a road.cc connection too with another category, the award for Best Writer – Print, which is named in memory of our reviewer Steve Worland, who sadly passed away last year.
