Anyone know if the Dauphine Libere is on TV?

Seems strange that OLN in the USA does not cover it. They
are actually very into what Lance Lance Lance does!!!!
Sometime even a little too much, but i guess that their only
way to sell bicycle racing to the public here in US

Get yer latest VN and check out the interview with the guy
from OLN, seems they're tring to market, package, cycle
racing. The TdF, unfortunately is about all viewers flock
to see. Be glad they still cover the Giro and Vuelta.
Meanwhile viewers are flocking to see PBR bull riding every
night -- to be fair and objective -- when I go down to the
pub 99% of the people there can watch a man try to sit on
the back of a raging bull for 8 seconds and have some vague
idea what's going on or get that visceral pleasure out of
it that they can't with a deep sport like cycling. Then
some dope comes in and wants to watch the giants or a's and
half the bar leaves.

How about an internet feed that has that new fangled technology-
moving pictures?

Maybe it's not being televised anywhere, or they couldn't
work a deal with whoever is covering it. I assume that OLN
doesn't have a camera crew (motorcycles, helicopters) to
cover European cycling events, they take the same feed as
everyone else. No feed, no coverage.

Saturday and Sundays stages are being covered on French TV,
so maybe OLN will be able to pick up their feed then.

This first stage is a doozy, under 10 Km to go and
Christophe Laurent and Jimmy Casper had a lead which looked
like it should hold, but it seems to be coming down quick
and the feed isn't updating often enough to suit me! =:-)

As of today, OLN hasn't announced anything, but it's
probably going to have small coverage in the "Road to the
Tour" show. Still, I'd like to see how things unfold. I'm
still bummed because my Replay TV (due to my not
understanding how it worked) taped over an important
mountain stage in the Giro.

I believe that it will be on TV this Saturday and Sunday
on France 2 and France 3, respectively. On the other
hand, I don't think that the NBA and NHL playoffs are
available here.

I work in Monterey, CA, and one of my co-workers has a son
who plays professional basketball in Germany. She says
they're nuts about the sport there, so I'd expect German
coverage of the NBA finals. (Det 1, LA 0)

Exactly ! And in France, a new cable channel was recently
added - NBA all day and night.

OK, look at it this way. I live in Paris and get to watch
the Dauphine Libere coverage on TV. You live in Monterey and
get to ride in country as nice as in the Dauphine Libere. I
know which I'd rather have...

I've read on rbr about posters riding around Paris, are
there any decent climbs or is it mostly flat?

Here, there be mountains, smallish, but some legbreakers for
any who seek them out. Damon Kluck (USPS) trains out here.

In Paris there are a couple of hills (Montmarte, Telegraph),
but I don't recommend using them in training. Too many cars.
Other than that, Paris is quite flat. There are some little
hills around Paris. Seems that when the TdF comes through
here, they manage to get a category 3 in the route. But
nothing serious in the area.

Actually, there's some nice hills south of Versailles in the
Chevereus Vallee. Don't know what they rate on the tour
scale, but the rides on Tuesdays and Thursdays from Bullion
can really rip your legs off.

There are actually some nice climbs in Paris. My favorite is
in Montmartre, about 6% with huge cobbles. Interestingly, I
climb it faster than I descend it. On the other hand, any
real riding is buffered by about 15 to 20 miles of
"communist" suburbs, that is unbelievably depressing
concrete structures, so it's no fun to ride there.

Riding in Paris is sort of OK, except you have to deal with
other cyclists, scooters, and motorcycles, any of whom may
attack you at any time if you delay them on the cycle path
(!), or have the audacity to stop at a red light. I have to
take long breaks due to frustration with them, e.g., a
motorcyclist kicked my front wheel after finally passing me
because I had previously prevented him from passing me on
the 3 ft wide cycle lane and as we were heading towards a
red light.

Well, I suppose you could drive to the Santa Cruz
mountains, which is what I had in mind when I wrote my
previous comment.

I remember arriving at Gare du Nord and going through miles
and miles of ugly concret buildings.

Sounds like driving in Michigan, though someone pulled a
stunt on me a few days ago on southbound Highway 1. Hit turn
signal to change lane and watch other driver accelerate to
close gap.

The Santa Cruz Mountains are a few miles away. A good
enough distance to get warmed up for lots of fun hours
talking to the stem.
