After a great 2017 season with Cyclingnews, I’m joining VeloNews full-time for 2018 (and beyond).

VeloHuman.com gave me my start in this amazing business and allowed me to go from being “just some guy” with opinions about cycling to actually covering bike races in person—but I’ve spent the last several years working toward a more reliable, stable gig. As much as the VH previews and the rest have meant to me and my career, I’m embracing my new position fully, which means there won’t be much room left for VeloHuman. From 2018 and into the foreseeable future, I will no longer be updating VeloHuman.com. I do plan to keep the site up for posterity’s sake, but my output from here on out can be found over at VeloNews.com (and in the VeloNews magazine).

To anyone who has been reading VH since it was just a small little preview site finding its feet, I owe you a huge THANK YOU. Without you, I would never have been able to progress to where I am now in my cycling journalism career.

I hope you’ll continue to follow my work over at VeloNews. Now that I’m actually doing this whole cycling journalism thing professionally, I am actually able to produce far more content than I ever could while cranking out previews as a side hustle in the early goings. In other words, the biggest change here is just the venue—I’ll be writing more about cycling now than ever before, and I hope you’ll stay tuned and keep in touch! You can find me on Twitter @danecash. Don’t be a stranger!

If you’ve been visiting VeloHuman.com at all this season you’ve probably noticed a dearth of content, and after several weeks of not updating anything I figured it would probably be best to at least post something to let readers know what’s up!

As you’ve surely seen if you follow @VeloHuman on Twitter, the Recon Ride has joined the Cyclingnews podcast this year. We’re quite excited about that! I’ve also joined the Cyclingnews editorial team for this season – about which I am also very excited.

VeloHuman has been previewing races for four years now and I’m very proud of all the pre-race analysis I’ve been able to do since my first race preview back in 2013. For the moment, however, I’ve gotten too busy to maintain the site and to continue previewing every race on the WorldTour calendar for VH while also doing pre-race analysis on the podcast and elsewhere. As such, VeloHuman will be taking a hiatus for the foreseeable future, at least insofar as written previews go.

I may come back to the preview-writing that got me started at some point down the road. We’ll see. For now, however, I’m pouring all my efforts into my work with Cyclingnews. I hope you’ll keep listening to the podcast at its new home, and stay in touch on Twitter!
