If you're thinking that this site might only be for those who have a passion for cycling or are superfit, then you would be wrong. The people at '2 Wheel Treks' have really thought about how they can best offer a service to anyone at any level of fitness to just have an enjoyable time on cycle holiday.

There is such a diverse range of opportunities including locations such as various English counties and even other countries including Holland, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain. They offer a variety of holidays, ranging from gentle relaxing short breaks for those who rarely cycle, to more challenging rides for those wanting to stretch themselves a little. You might like a 'cruise and cycle' holiday, or a weak-end short break, or even a mountain biking trip.

All of the trips are also graded, so you can tell what you are in for. These range from a gentle ride on mainly flat terrain where not much effort is required, to challenging routes with steep hills and long distances, which are for experienced cyclists with the good level of fitness.

I cannot finish without discussing the website itself. I do like simple sites, and this one is no exception. It's simple but effective graphics and it's simple green based style allow for a fast loading, easy on the eye, information full website.

I was really surprised how quickly this website came up, especially considering the number of graphics on the website showing various locations and people on cycle tours. I can only assume that someone has taken lots of care and time to make sure that this website does use minimal bandwidth so that anyone can easily access the information.

Whether you are interested in cycling and cycling holidays, or not, this website is well worth a visit. Who knows, you may find a new passion or a different idea for your next family holiday.

If you're involved or interested in mission or Christian work overseas, OSCAR, the UK information service for world mission, is your gateway to useful UK related information, advice and resources.

In OSCAR's own words, "If you're involved or interested in missionary or Christian work overseas, OSCAR, the UK information service for world mission, is your gateway to useful UK related information, advice and resources."

OSCAR is seeking to provide a service that will further the mission of Jesus Christ throughout the entire world, and have specific aims to provide an information service that is useful for:

• Missionaries and overseas Christian workers on the field.
• Prospective missionaries and overseas Christian workers.
• Missionaries and Christian workers recently returned from the field.
• Christians open to the possibility of working overseas/abroad.
• Supporters of missionaries, overseas Christian workers and world mission in general.
• Non-UK Christians coming to the UK as missionaries or Christian workers.
• Anyone responsible for `resourcing' any of the above.

This site is basically a specialised directory of services about mission and for missionaries. They have really thought hard to produce a useful and easy-to-use web site, that is minimal in graphics and other high bandwidth technologies, allowing for fast access to those with limited Internet connectivity.

They also have their own forum for anything to do with missions which again is simple and easy to use. There are not too many posts in this forum but I can see there is promise here as people make use of this facility.

OSCAR also have other ideas for interactive facilities which they have given the collective title "OSCAR active".

Whatever your relation to mission and mission work, it will be well worth your while to have a look at this website.

What an engaging website!

A quick loading, well presented, presentation greets you full of great graphics and engaging sound effects. Entering this website is no letdown, with great colour and graphics and yet a very simple structure.

And we haven't even touched on the content of this website yet! The aim of this website is simple. Time is running out, we are now in the final countdown. There are only two choices, Jesus or not.

This is basically a blog site dedicated to topics of end times. Categories include 'world news and prophecy', ' cults' and 'churches vs religion'.

It seems that this blog is a little light on the articles but according to the comments posted for each article, it would appear that heaps of people visit the site daily and only have good things to say. Also, there seem to be more article track-backs than comments, showing that people are so interested in the content of these articles that they can't stop linking to and referencing this site.

Don't take my word, or theirs, for it. Go visit the site and see what you think.

What is Free Minds, Inc. all about?

• people who care about other people who are in authoritarian religions.
• networking with others who care.
• warning the public of cults and their deceptive recruiting techniques, and efforts to create fear and isolation in new recruits.

Randall Watters is the founder of Free Minds, Inc. and has been working freeing people from the mind control bondage of cults for over twenty years. He was a Jehovah's Witness for eight years during the 70's, and worked at the Watchtower headquarters in Brooklyn.

He became a Christian in 1980 and served as a pastor for a number of years before choosing to focus on cults and exit-counseling. Randall formed Free Minds, Inc. as a non-profit educational organization in 1992, with the goal of educating the public about mind control and the danger of cults.

What I like about this site?

I have always had an interest in other religions and cults, where they have come from, why people believe what they do, and how we, as Christians, should witness to them. I have often come across JW's and have always remained interested in how best to relate to people involved in this organisation.

I am always so disappointed when talking to other Christians about how they witness to people such as JW's as they often think that thet have done well when their discussion becomes an argument that the JW fails to win. Also, many Christians and Christian information sources seem to spend way too much time discrediting and attacking cults and other religions.

This website does the right job brilliantly! The website is full of relevant, un-biased, non-attacking, non-judging information. It mainly includes information on Jehovah's Witnesses and on the Watchtower Society, but is aimed at giving all of the facts, and good, Godly advice to members of cults, and to Christians seeking to wit ness to cult members.

Whether you are interested in finding out more about the JW's, the Watchtower society, how to witness to JW's, or anything else, this site is certainly worth a visit!
