Let's get this party started.
I dug around on the NBC Olympics website and found something about the men's road race being televised live on NBC at 5 am eastern time on July 28.
For those in the US, look on this page, on the right side (scroll down a bit), and you can enter your ZIP Code and cable TV info. Then you will be able to look up cycling events by date to see what is on TV, and which channel.

Wow, thanks for the link.
Even I can figure out what will be on TV.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

I only checked the schedule for the men's road race so far. This morning I realized they give a 6-hour window for the listing -- 5 to 11 -- which means it will probably be interspersed with other events.
Fortunately my DVR has plenty of room on it, so I can record the whole 6 hours.

You might want to set it to stop recording an hour later or so. Can't tell you how many times I've missed recording the end of live events that extended beyond the scheduled time slot.

Who else is watching the opening ceremonies this evening? I think this is the first time I've done so.

I am, but will have to miss the end as it's getting late here. I was really impressed, so much of it resonated for me.

For Canada, I hope Clara Hughes (who did cycle in previous Olympics and also won medal in speed skating in a Winter Olympic) will do well in cycling to satisfy herself. She has won several Olympic medals in both sports. Her profile: http://clara-hughes.com/about-clara/
She had been struggling with depression (and has been a spokesperson for mental health).My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.
