Anyone going to watch this one? I grew up in Colorado, can't imagine climbing those hills 
Also, anyone ever see the movie "American Flyers" way back in the 80s? A similar-sounding bike race called "Hell of the West" was the major plot point Might have to give it a watch again...

It's a spiritual successor to the Coors Classic (it's the race American Flyers used loosely in inspiration). I watched what I could last year and really enjoyed it,so yeah I'll catch what I can. Bums me out as I'm about a days drive away and there's no way I could get there now if I wanted to watch live in person.
And yeah, now that I actually care about cycling I need to watch that movie again.0 -

I'm thinking a double feature - Breaking Away and American Flyers (same director) 0 -
I have to work for most of it but I did volunteer to be a course marshall on the 24th as they come flying through Wheatridge. :happy:
Maybe I'll get a picture or two if the crowd is behaving and not pulling stunts like I saw some of the Tour spectator folks do. My son will be there so perhaps I'll get him to do the pictures.0 -

Don't know what you mean...
I've set the Sky+ box to record it on eurosport, past 3 years at least one stage has been unwatchable due to picture breakup, so theres no way in hell I'm staying up to watch it live, only to get 3 hours of digital noise and the commentators trying hard to fill time until the static cameras at the finish line.0 -
Watched it last night... WTF were the race marshals playing at... Let the riders do the dangerous bit of the descent, then pull them over and neutralise it. Bigger **** up than the attempted neutralisation in the Giro this year.
Let th racers race, I say... If they're mad enough to take the risks in a second tier race, then fair play to em...0 -
