Anyone going to this or part of this or anything?

I mean stage 7 downtown on Sunday is pretty much a Duh sort of thing, but perhaps one of the other stages? I've got a comp day at work I might could use during the week.

Anyone have a front porch that overlooks the course this year for stage 7? Beerz at conjob's was awesome last year, but the route doesn't go by there this go round.

Maps and all here:

the section through tech campus might be relaxing and easily accessible.

edit: relaxing for spectators not racers.

GT at 5th street bridge

Submitted by Stupefying Jones on Fri, 04/18/2008 - 09:05.

GT at 5th street bridge could be good (possibly crowded, who knows?)

Bedford park is another potential spot (within easy Krispy Kreme donut range)

an oh yeah. from the tdg website. you can watch their live race tracker and streaming video coverage of the event.

(So far the vid seems to only work in IE in Vista, trying out XP on the laptop today to see if that works because Vista in VMWare was coughing)

also don't forget about the

also don't forget about the nightly recap show on SportsSouth (#53 on comcast) @ 10:30pm and then again 9:30am the next morning.

I was just checking the results and Atlanta rider Emile Abraham (also Santana's coach, still?) posted an awesome 7th today for a GC standing of 28th after two stages. Nice work. Emile occasionally blisters the Velodrome and can't be missed on his really sweet carbon Pinarello.

Fo real

Submitted by griggey on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:15.

Where are people planning on watching this? I would like to go by Centennial Park, but my shoes got wet on my ride home from work yesterday and with no back up shoes, I may be limited to walking places. I know Bedford Park has been mentioned a few times, but where else are people thinking about watching?

Since yesterday's stage

Submitted by guerciotti on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:30.

Since yesterday's stage didn't go as planned the race today should be awesome. I usually just move around the course and wind up at the finish. If you wanna drool over serious bike bling stick around downtown to see all the team equipment and riders.
