| 1853.2 | I caught it!!! | BRUMMY::DONNELLY | | Fri Feb 22 1991 11:15 | 8 |
| It was a 20 min program in a series of five. I taped it but have
decided not to keep it as it was o.k. but a bit general. Each
week covers a topic and this was about the Tour. General stuff
on the Origins of the Tour , Tommy Simpsons demise a bit on the
Tour De Trump. Next week is the Evolution of the Bicycle.
Cheers Dave.

ESPN is showing mountain bike races from various tracks mondays at
5pm... the show is at least one hour long, maybe longer...

| 1853.4 | TV mountain biking = zzzzzzzzz! | PLAYER::GWYNNE | | Fri Oct 11 1991 05:43 | 9 |
| Eurosport has been showing mountain bike racing for some time now. I'll
have to admit, though I own a mountain bike and I love watching Tour de
France etc on the TV, mountain bike racing is very boring to watch. I
think it may be because the camera lens tends to flatten out the
terrain, and you don't get a real idea of how steep/rough some of these
tracks are.

| 1853.5 | still worth it | FSDEV::HANAM | Dear God, sorry to disturb you but... | Fri Oct 11 1991 13:41 | 15 |

i'll agree with you that the terrain does seem flatter on television...
the same thing happens to pictures i've taken of myself and friends
skiing. here we are on tuckerman's ravine.. and it looks like a bunny
slope!
BUT... the show is still good. there are interviews with riders and
they show some pretty radical bikes. Rock Shoks front *and* rear!
anyway, each week they go to a different course. last week was mostly
sandy.. pretty boring to watch the men (woman raced first, i missed
them) plow thru it. most of the guys had to dismount and run thru, but
one european had the technique and rode thru the sand really well.
i dunno bout you, but when it was over i had to jump on my bike and go
ride...
