    Hey, fellow Canadian riders- just to give you a heads up; I just spotted
    Amstel gold race on OLN Sunday apr 17 @ 1900 and again at midnight EST

    Liege-Bastongne-Liege is scheduled for next week Apr 24th.

    It would be a good measure to send thank-you emails to OLN to encourage them
    to continue to give us the bike racing we want; and I want to say thank you
    to those here who helped bring it.

    Thanks, just checked and it's on here now.
    They're doing Redlands first though.

    There's about a minute and a half of actual coverage; because of the
    fog, all of the helicopters were grounded...

    Yeah, could be better, but it is a start and I would rather encourage more
    with praise than start off by criticizing the coverage

    hey, in a few years we might even get our own channel, 24 hr bike racing 365
    days per year- SPEED without the carbon-monoxide

    All but the Canadian helicopter. Some crazy bush pilot went up and they
    have full coverage.

    Oh, and the high definition TV channel has had the Little Indy 500 on
    three times with more than an hour of coverage each time. I actually
    watched it for a while - it is a conspiracy to bring together the
    worst elements of almost track riding and not quite criterium riding,
    with some really neat transitions that wouldn't pass muster at a bad
    pit.
