I sure hope they have more coverage of this event then just 2 hours on Cyclism Sunday. I'd really like to watch as much as possible.

We're bringing our bikes and driving in on the 16th. Plan to watch parts of all stages except first.

However, I did buy a Lemond Reno from them in part because I liked their attitude at that time. The service varies, but I do get the sense that the more you look like a 'serious' rider the more attention you'll get.
It doesn't make me want to buy another bike from them.

Oh, and my wife and I are going to all the stages. We're taking the week off from work to follow the tour.

Actually, they're coming to me. I'm within spitting distance of Stone Mtn and a brief ride to downtown. Guess I need to start on an itinerary...

I have started going to the Sunshine Cycles in Watkinsville. I have met 2 guys in there, one being the owner and they have been more than helpful. Thats the kind of bike shop you dont mind going to just to hang around while they service your bike, they are very interested in helping the customer.
