Goes right by my house today- might as well go watch since I can't drive anywhere to do errands ;-)

I tried to watch, but DirecTv wants more money to be able to watch it.

I knew about the Leadville 100 and Pikes Peak races this weekend but hadn't heard anything about the Colorado Classic until last night. Gotta say, watching a road bike race is the last thing I want to do on a cool weekend in Colorado.

It was on TV here in Florida last year.
Doing my best to follow it this year.

Ok, so RiNo must mean River North?

So that was pretty fun. Saw them go by my house near the Sprint point twice. Big difference in the peloton between mile 5 and mile 95. My daughters thought it was cool, thanks to Evan Huffman of Rally for tossing us a bottle.

walked a few blocks to check out some of the final day laps.
not sure how well the race is doing from an attendance/financial perspective (i was virtually alone at the spot i staked out), but for me it's always pretty amazing/humbling to see the speed at which these guys fly by.
