Pro Cycling on Twitter: A Fan's Guide

If you don't use Twitter, you might be tired of hearing about it on PdC. If so, turn away. There is an imaginary 2009 Gent-Wevelgem Live Thread (courtesy of Ursula) on the main page as I write this. It includes a poll too. How exciting! You might want to move along and go vote for the imaginary winner.

Now, onto the proof of my cycling fan geekiness...

I have compiled a linky list of Pro Cycling on Twitter. I made it for myself but thought others might find it useful.

There's a lot more general cycling culture people on Twitter but since there's a good chance it will grow I am attempting to keep this to Pro Road only. Otherwise it could get out of hand. Feel free to add in comments here any I have missed so I can update the list.

If you are on Twitter I am easy to find: ZoeRochelle.

Because

Huh

I never really progressed beyond “see food” for my restaurant diversions.

I don't have much of an opinion on Twitter

(nothing bad, nothing good) but really, why?

I'll get a little "Why I Twitter" post up later. Gotta try to get some work done.

But mainly I follow some very interesting people and businesses. I learn a lot on Twitter and laugh a lot.

IMHO

It’s just a different form of access, which happens to work better for some people than using a computer. Also, the technology tends to force the content into smaller bites, which makes the presence unique. Add a dash of salt, and you’ve got a yummy treat.

CQRanking.com, you complete me.

Uh...

I’m not entirely sure you have the right Slipstream linked:

I have the house to myself for the next 36 hours. Time for Ale and Whores!

And now it is time to clean the cat box. Thank you, I’m here all week! Try the malt wine, it is delicious.

Unpacking more boxes. Why do I have so much stuff?

Try TeamSlipstream instead. ;-)

I'd rather hear about

Ale and whores, but that probably isn’t a surprise.

Who in their right mind doesn't find this entertaining?

I love this stuff. Today on Twitter Lance is giving Chris Horner a bad time about being a redneck. He is now attempting to convince Chris to get on Twitter.

the pics from today's training ride were great.

I’ve not always been a supporter, but damn the access is great. The man knows how to connect w/ the fans.

Yes. Exactly. Lets hope it carries over to the season.

He has Johan, Brajkovic and Horner using it noe too. (He says Horner is going to get on it.) Folks are demanding Levi as well.

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
