I’m wrapping up this year with a short episode. I do some announcements then run down my list of my top ten people of 2006. It’s the ten people that had the most impact on me in the cycling world over the past year.

[…] Last night Candace made an observation that nobody seems to kiss butt more than me and my fellow cycling bloggers. She said it seems like we are always saying incredibly bubbly and cheerful things about each other. I told her to wait until she hears my new Crooked Cog Podcast episode. The title… “Top Ten People of 2006″. […]

Back atcha my friend! These has been a great year for me as well, both personally and professionally. Would love to have ridden more, but being busy selling bikes makes it worthwhile.
Thanks to friends like you and many of the folks you mention on your list, I hope to be around this place a lot longer.
Thank you for the kind words and I hope you, Candace and Connor have a fantastic holiday.

[…] Wow. While writing this I have been catching up on listening to a few bike podcasts. Right now I have Tim Grahl’s Crooked Cog Podcast on from Dec 21 on and I just heard him mention my name! His main topic for the episode was “The Top Ten People of 2006″ - his favorite people in the industry that he met during the last year. When I saw the topic before clicking on”play” I was thinking Gary Fisher, Tom Ritchey, Marla Streb… but guess who’s number 1 on the list? (”In no particular order” Tim says) “Rich Kelly of Interbike,” he says. Now, I’m still getting used to being in such a visible position in the industry and seeing my name and quotes printed in trade mags (Bicycle Retailer, Tradeshow Week) and blogs, but something altogether different to hear your name mentioned like this in audio format. Tim, thanks for the very kind words and it was a great pleasure to meet you too last year. Tim is someone with such enthusiasm and passion for the sport. Keep up the great work and spreading the love of the bikes. And I love the Euro-Pro racing commentary - good stuff! Maybe you should add the “Crooked Cobble Blog” to the network in time for the Spring Classics… […]
