It appears there are quite a few local racers who blog. Seems to be more mtb than road, but maybe i'm just not looking that hard.
 

Sometimes sportspeople should just stick to playing sport (ajventer.com was hilarious), but many of these guys give the public a great insight into what they do and behind the scenes stuff. As well as more sponsor coverage.

 

Any other good ones out there?I've rated them with star smileys out of five (no flaming chilli smileys).

Everyone has so much to say/They talk, talk, talk their lives away/Don’t even hesitate/Walking on down to the burial ground/It’s a very old dance with a merry old sound/Looks like its on today

It's a little out of date but I'll remind him to update it.

I think most of the pro's use Facebook to update us on what's happening. Just look up your favorite cycling star online today.
