Join me for the 2012 WordCount Blogathon!

It's that time of year again.

May 2012 represents the 5th year of Michelle Rafter's 

WordCount Blogathon. Here's sample of this year's badge:

It's also my 5th year participating. We started getting 

our badges three years ago, and they've added an extra 

ounce of fun to the month-long event.

If you haven't been around long enough, let me 

share with you that the annual May Blogathon

offers a whole new dimension to BIKE WITH JACKIE.

I use the 31 days of daily blogging to focus 

on a theme. Since I've recently gotten the sense

knocked back into me, I'm choosing the "bike"

as my theme this May. So I'll be blogging about

all things bike-related. It'll help me stay focused

on the bike, and it'll give you a greater 

appreciation for what those two wheels really mean. 

Expect to see photos of bike imagery I have collected

over the years. Expect to read about other bike blogs,

maybe a few interviews and guest posts. Expect to find 

out what the bike means to the folks I follow on Twitter. 

And when Haiku Day rolls around, you can expect 

to read more Baiku, instead.

It'll be a fun month. We'll keep it upbeat, and 

I'll toss in some inspiration for you as well. You'll 

also be introduced to a whole slew of blogs you 

might not have visited otherwise.  

To find out what exactly this Blogathon is, click on 

the link above. It'll take you to the registration

page, where, if there's still time, you can sign up. 

Also, Michelle invited me to guest post about the event

last week, and she ran the post yesterday. Visit her site 

to find out why I keep signing up for the challenge.

And be sure to keep coming back here to read

all the about the bike. Lance Armstrong may say in 

his book that it's not about the bike. But I say, 

yeah, it really is. 

See you in May when you'll find out what I mean.
