NorCal Cycling News – Cycling and Racing in Northern California

So my NorCal friends… i feel our twitter experiment is about to take off. I got a few bites and here they are. Sure they are raw and not packed with detail but it’s a start until folks start calling me (DM me on twitter and I we can set that up!) In reverse-time-order…

Evan Huffman
wins and I came in 4th #dinuba #nccn

Brandon Trafton
#pineflat pro 1/2 results.

Frank Spiteri
went 2-4-6-7-9 at #pineflat road race today!#nccn

BBC Racing

Terence places 3rd at Cantua and overcomes mechanics placing 11th at Pine Flat. #ncnca:http://berkeleybike.org/?p=425

Granted that last one might have been tweeting before our twitter request but maybe not. We have some work to do on narative like… “Who, What, How”… but i think these folks get it. Huge thanks to Evan, Frank, Brandon, and the BBC team for getting the Twitter coverage started. I’m out for a few days but will try to get a quick post up if Hernado doesn’t chime in first.

Here is the original request..which i have hence corrected to ensure that the hashtags work… as designed by Twitter-Monster

Tag Race Info in Twitter

Here is the real use for twitter, real time race coverage and results. Eventually we’ll have some t-shirts and schwag to give out for folks tagging race info in twitter. What does this mean? If you send an update to twitter and include a hashtag, which means the # symbol, it makes it easier to find info. So.. if you are at the Beat The Clock TT, and you send an update to twitter like

“Crappy day to TT! Rain, Sleet, and Snow. Still got under 22 mins. #btc #nccn”

we can all find the race a little easier. Below are some suggestions for tags to use.

• #[racename - no spaces] – ex. #cherrypie (make all one word)
• #nccn
• #ncnca
• #norcal
• #norcalrr
