Are you a Low Cadence reader and want some free coffee? Get a friend to fan the Low Cadence Facebook page and then leave a comment on the page with your name and you will be entered into a drawing for a free pound of our Beans with a Mission. Also, $20 will be given toward the 2010 Ride for Mike in your name. Drawing will be Memorial Day, May 31st.

By the way, your friend also gets a pound. If you currently are not a fan of the page, just visit the page and click the “Like” button at the top. You will then be entered into the drawing.

But wait… that’s not all! You may recall that I asked Low Cadence readers to nominate the blog for the CrankListed.com cycling blog directory. The nominations round of Crank was held so that the editors could select the top 5 blogs to be in for the final voting (going on now).  This way they were able to provide contenders who were selected by cycling blog fans and peers.  CrankListed.com felt this opened up the possibility of all cycling blogs to be in for the running, and put all blogs on a pretty equal playing field.

Hundreds of different cycling blogs were nominated, and now things get serious with the top 5 battling it out for top dog status.  I would appreciate it if you could swing by CrankListed.com and vote for Low Cadence under the Road Cycling category. While you are at it, be sure to vote for your favorite blog in each category….if there is a blog you’re not familiar with, check them out and see what they have to offer.

Not sure exactly what direction the blog will take over the next several weeks, but I’m certain I’ll be here. Thank you for being here as well.

It is exciting to see the 2010 Ride For Mike fund grow to $2500. We have had a great start to the campaign, but there is still a ways to go. Have you given?

We have a new batch of Low Cadence Coffee on hand. I’m looking forward to handing over pounds and pounds of the stuff to people who choose to give $15 or more to the project. Remember, 100% of the money you give goes to the fund. The coffee is my thanks to you.

The question I keep getting asked is, “Have you gotten the kits ready yet?” This has taken a bit longer than I would have wished. However, we are still within the window for getting them in and produced before the Ride For Mike. The designs are on their way to Hincapie Sportswear. I hope to be taking orders before June.

A couple of other reminders for you:

• Have you become a fan of the Low Cadence Facebook page yet?
• Have you nominated Low Cadence in the Road Cycling category at Cranklisted.com?

Thank you for all the support! This past week the blog had the best daily average traffic ever. My stats also show that there are lots of loyal readers out there. I want you to know that I really appreciate your interest.
