Anyone else watching? It looks like most of the top riders came here instead of doing the Vuelta. And hearing Phil and Paul again ... pure bliss, like Christmas in August!

I am definitely watching. I can't get the other race anyway. The camera work seems a lot better than what I saw on the Tour of Utah. Hopefully, it continues. And I like Phil and Paul as well. Can't wait for todays. I watch some, but have to record it because I can't watch it all.

I'm watching been in serious withdrawal since the Tdf ended. Can't wait to see how they do on those high mountain passes.

**denda** · 08-23-2011, 10:21 AM

Yes, I am watching!

**ScaldedCat** · 08-23-2011, 10:28 AM

Im watching all the coverage I can over here, need my regular fix of Jens Voigt!

I'm watching it and loving seeing my state showcased for the whole world to see. I'm familiar with the routes as I've skied all the ski areas the riders are going to and ridden some of the roads they will be racing on.

Thursday I'm planning on riding Vail Pass to the finish of the time trial.

The scenery alone is worth watching. I have been to Colorado 3 times. It's fun to watch the riders race in territory that is familiar to me even if I don't live there. What a beautiful place!

We were in Colorado in June and drove over most of Stage 1 and part of Stage 2. Independence Pass will be scary.

I wish we could get the delayed online video like we could with TdF- it's almost impossible to schedule time to watch much of the race.

We've been recording it and watching later. After last night though, I redid all the upcoming recordings to go an extra 1/2 hour rather than 15 minutes (missed the last 5 miles!

!).

It is beautiful scenery.

Independence Pass is scary in a car

They will go right through Twin Lakes today. We stayed at a B&B there last year. Wish I was there today

Way to go George!!!

Missed the most exciting part of the race, the downhill on Independence Pass! The wings of the helicopter were icing up and had to land so no coverage.

I had a chance to ride Indepence Pass on Ride the Rockies but passed up the opportunity due to fear of heights and issues with asthma. Sagged to Leadville that day.

Yeah, the no coverage was a bummer.

**bluebug32** · 08-24-2011, 06:46 PM

Great to see George on the podium!
