Olympic Cycling..uh..coverage
Just scanned the 10 hours of USA Network that my Tivo recoreded today because cycling was scheduled for broadcast and located exactly 0 minutes of cycling. Well that's not true, there were coaches on bikes chasing the rowing teams for about an hour.

USA (Channel 8 on Charter Pasadena) will be showing cycling some time in the next two hours. I've got it on in the background (field hockey right now) hoping to catch Sarah Hammer's final ride.

I'm trying to keep an eye out for cycling on USAHD but the Italy v Belgium men's soccer game on UHD is proving to be quite exciting.

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

Yep, recorded 7 hrs early morning - was supposed to have cycling. No cycling, but they did have 90 min of speed walking and 4 HOURS of tennis. Then when it came back on a couple of hours later, back to tennis - enough tennis already! NBC seems to be all about beach volleyball too. (snore).
