CGOB is operated on a very low budget, almost a labor of love. It is not state-of-the-art web design and that's OK by me. When I am researching a bike tour or just looking for ideas or amusement, it's one of the sites that I always visit. The quality of the journals vary widely in content, writing and photos but that's part of the charm.
Periodically I send small donations to help Neil Gunton operate the site. He funds the site by donations, a limited amount of targeted advertising, and I presume some of his own money. As far as I'm concerned, he's one of the good guys.
