Hooray! We're just back from the BikeBiz awards and we've got another nice trophy to add to our trophy 'cabinet' (shelf). road.cc won the Best Use of Social Media award for the second year in a row.
Obviously we're sad that we didn't win the gong for best website, which we've won for the last three years, but we're very happy to be handing it over to the lovely people of Singletrack magazine who fully deserve it. So well done to them.
We'll be wanting it back next year of course, so we have plenty planned for the coming year. First up is a site redesign which is imminent, so look out for that and tell us what you think. And let us know what else we can do to improve the site to make it even more useful to all you lovely road.cc readers out there.
We're off to bed now. Hic. Here's the list of winners in full:
