Being in San Francisco, I gotta get up at the crack o' dawn to catch anything live. Today, I was all dressed and looking at my watch and the tv and thinking... I'll be *late* if I wait for this to polish off.
So I hopped on the bike and zoomed in. Half because I wanted to try and catch the finish on streaming video at work, and the other half just muttering "I'll show you punks a recovery ride..."
Well, I had the fastest commute in my life, got the computer booted, and caught the last fourty-five minutes (!) of the race with the absolutely stunning finish. WOW!
So far, this tour has not been lacking in the excitement...
-- gnat!

I need some of that live streaming video too! I missed the live finish cause I had to get to work.
I did catch the rerun on versus.com when I got here though. It was an awesome finish.
Once they hit the mountains and the stages take longer, I always miss the finishes, like today looooong stage. bikerHen

I got it livestreaming from versus also. There's a direct link from the cycle-licious blog ( http://www.cyclelicio.us/ ) ... scroll down 'til you get there... and links to other good TDF stuff.
I was seeing glimpses here and there between helping folks in the lab... and thinking "they just don't look like they're working that hard!" (and thinking ... welp, after that crash, they're all thinking "if you don't push, I won't either!")
... and then ... oh, my, that was really really fun to watch!!! Serious cahunas!!!Last edited by Geonz; 07-10-2007 at 01:47 PM.

Well... it was sooooo slow that although we have finished watching the live cast we dvd-d last night, we didn't get the last 6 miles!!! We had programmed the DVD for 3 hours - not 3 hours + however long the extra slow extra 6 miles take!!!
Don't these boys know we rely on them to fit in with MY TV/DVD programming!!!!
I am working from home today, so will be able to watch the full replay in a couple of hours - hopefully I'll get to see the end which apparently sounds a bit more exciting than the rest of the stage...
But aren't the scenery and 'scapes just delightful??
What lovely weather they had today - especially considering yesterdays wetness.
