Twitterin’

This post was written by Rory Sutherland on April 14, 2009

I have left the world of Facebook. Yes, that is correct. After nearly two years, I deleted my account. No more photos and I am done with silly quizzes (which movie star are you?). It is all about Twitter! Twitter is the new Facebook! So, get yourself a Twitter account and check out rorysutherland1.

I spent most of March entertaining my family and training for Redlands. I enjoyed the time with my parents and they have now returned from Australia. Redlands went fairly well. The team really tried to make something happen on the last stage, but there are so many strong riders/teams this year! It makes for great racing and I am looking forward to the rest of the season. My favorite thing about Redlands are the crowds. We have had the same host family for awhile and I love seeing them each lap as we climb Sunset. Thanks for coming out to watch!

Gila is coming up quickly, so I have ben heading into the mountains on a regular basis. I left for Palomar on Saturday morning. The weather report said it would be in the 50’s at the summit. Let me tell you, that weather report was wrong! It was barely 30 degrees at the top…clouds, snow still on the ground, I could barely see 10 meters in front of me….it was freezing cold. Not the most enjoyable day, but it is part of my job.

I spent a few days in San Francisco last week. I have raced through the city several times, so it was nice to actually spend a few days there looking around! We hit all of the tourist spots…Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Stinson Beach, Golden Gate National Park. I can see why so many people live in the Bay area. It was great to see so many people out on bikes as well! Here are a few photos from the weekend:
