Without the text (which is half the battle, the other half being photo selection and presentation), after a couple years your blog will be like looking through grandmother's collection of Kodak snapshots -- and to anyone who isn't you, it will look like that now.
I've done several blogs already from past rides. These were all done AFTER I returned home. I just made good notes and took lots of photos. I find if I don't write down what happened, no later than first thing the next morning, I'll forget things. Check the links at the bottom of my posts here, and you'll see links to 3 of my cycling blogs. I've always thought I'd like to write about the trip, and also about the interesting people you meet when cycling.
