Recent Changes

In December of 1999 and January of 2000, the cyclerica website underwent a complete overhaul.

The new sections outlined to the left and right were added in response to your e-mails requesting more information on planning travel to Costa Rica.

We also added a frames version in order to allow the addition of a comprehensive navigation bar. As soon as we learn how, we will replace the frames with server side includes or scripts to serve the same function.
