Tuesday(Wednesday) Coffee Talk allows all of us to engage in community related topics and share your 2 cents worth

I was relieved to see on this past Sunday morning that Flagstaff was still standing! It didn't burn down, get cut down, or destroyed. Just to make sure I rode up Flagstaff to witness assumed destruction myself that must have occurred given all the fear PLAN-Boulder supporters had with the race going through open space. Here is what I saw...

Listen to internet radio with overthetop on Blog Talk Radio

Synopsis
After learning the correct pronunciation of "Moninger", we discuss Scott's roots in cycling, motivation to continue his winning ways, his goals and also who he considered his toughest competition. We then delve into retirement and how an athlete fills the void of no more competition. Scott explains the reasoning behind his amazing 90s hairstyle, differences between some of the teams with which he raced and we also spend a bit of time bashing Kansas terrain (it's his home state so he can good naturedly get away with this). Moninger discusses how he landed his role with NBC Sports as a Tour de France analyst and also talk about what he enjoys most about his role as a cycling coach.

"This is really a Boulder story -- that's one of the things that really turned me on about it," said Douglas Lee, a professional writer who put together the display in collaboration with the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History.

Saturday is going to be extremely fun and bike centric, but to keep your fun level up and frustration level down watch the video below explaining some of the "need to knows" like parking (but who will be driving). 303Cycling will be in downtown Boulder (15th and Pearl) announcing next to a giant JumboTran as we interview the Mayor and talk to Michael Aisner while he is out on course. We will also be at the CandyShop on 15th street. As mentioned in the video USAPro Boulder has created an interactive website yet at the time of posting this map does not seem to be operating correctly. Also know, to get onto Flagstaff you will need a wristband, learn how you can get a Flagstaff wristband and for those not going to Flagstaff, here are time estimates of when they will be where on stage 6. While this should not need be stated, be mindful of the racers on course, this is not the Basque region, you do not need think you are living like a euro. We can rise above this.
