Comcast broadcasting races (delayed) on TV?
I've never seen one here in Birmingham until today @ noon on CSS (Charter Cable). They covered the Jacksonville Cycling Classic Pro/1/2 Crit run on April 14th. Just happy to know that someone thinks there's an audience, and for not running it at 3am.

They did show some of the crashes but none of the shots were close-ups or replayed, so if you were in one I couldn't ID you 
The whole broadcast was rather dark. Lighting costs $.

I will have to check and see if the Tivo caught that one, I know it catches most any cycling that comes on. Do you ride and or race in B'ham? This is my first year of racing and I just moved back to B'ham last August...

I ride but too fat and slow to race. I enjoy the HW Tuesday night world's B group, but can't hang with the A's. Usually on my Casati for that ride, pick it up @ BBC. Say hello one night if you're there.

I think we may have ridden together the first night of the "worlds" actually. I got in from BBC that night as I was running late only to find the B's didn't come by so we had to short cut down 78 to catch up, there was myself and 3 others including a father and son on 'dales. Was that you?
