What fat, unemployed, beer drinking, lack luster blogger/suck cyclist had a Tweet favorited by elite World Cup cyclocross racer Katie Compton? This guy!

This, along with high-fiving Catharine Pendrel at the Iceman two years ago, and once having Georgia Gould say thank you to XXC Mag (me) via Facebook, pretty much makes me a legend amongst the throngs of rabid fetishers fans following elite female bike racers.

Time to up my game and continue my trans-atlantic cyber-stocking of Maja Wloszczowska and Jolanda Neff. Stay tuned.
