Sorry if this a repost, but this is pretty cool. Watch stage 13 on a big screen near you.

you betcha. i got punished at the one over the weekend, so i'm thinking of going back for more. :)
but watching a stage on the big screen would be really cool too.

How are those races anyway? I always get there at 9am or so on the weekends and see cones saying "caution bicycle race". I guess I always miss it. Are they every saturday and sunday?
How fast do you think my average speed would have to be to have a chance in hell of staying with the pack?

i don't want to hijack this thread - but we talked about it briefly in this thread:
http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=53997
but, the race was a lot of fun. your average speed would need to be well into the 20's to keep up with the group. i was at 18.5 over the 5 laps and got lapped! they also sprint like crazy when you least expect it and just want to recover.
here is the site if you're interested:

This is when it's bad to be on the West Coast...waking up and watching on the couch at 5:00am is one thing (and having the race be over before work, which is great), getting out and to a theater is quite another :( Such a cool idea though - might have to get up and go!

It's a fundraiser for Tyler's foundation, the focus of which is Multiple Sclerosis.
Good grief.
I'd pay the $40 to help them....it's an awful disease.

I'm already doing a multi-day charity ride that day. Otherwise, it'd be totally cool to go. When Prince did the first concert of his current tour, he did the same thing -- had the show broadcast live to these same theaters. It was a lot of fun to be there. It wasn't like a movie experience, but more like a lot of people getting together for a party. Expect a lot fun to be had!

Hey Brill..Thanks for the link. I will be sure to spread the word to my buddies. Since my cable company does not carry OLN it's a great opportunity for me.

I'll be riding the STP that day. However, for those of you in the Seattle area, Cascades Bicycle Club is doing a couple of "showings" of other stages too on a big screen. One of the events even includes a BBQ with a beer garden to help celebrate Bastille Day. More information can be found on Cascade's Tour Cyclism website (http://www.cascade.org/EandR/tour_cyclism.cfm).
