I'll be driving across the country for the next couple of days, and I'm hoping to find a twitter or something where I can follow the two tours live. Anybody know of a good one?

Here's my story. I trained all spring for a marathon mountain bike race. Then summer came around, and school mandated all life decisions. In other words, I haven't even touched any of my bikes since June. I've just finished my semester and I'd like to compete in the last crit and road race of...
