Olympic Mens RR - where are you watching from?

[180mmCrank]

Sorry if people have already shared but just in case ...

I will be on the Mall (outside the Queens House!) somewhere with the kids at least for the start ... my daughter wants to see William and Kate! And my son wants to see Mark Cavendish ... to be honest I thought we might get a better look at the start than waiting for the finish.

What about others ... will you be on Box Hill or hunched over your lap tops / TV at home?

Computer at work

 

[SetonHallPirate]

Computer in my Las Vegas hotel room.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

I will probably be home behind my TV.

I sort of have two homes though; but I'll be in my home in The Netherlands

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Box Hill *****es.

Maybe I am wrong but isnt it going to be packed to the rafter there?
It may turn out difficult for your son to get the view of Cavendish if it is..

It all depends who you know! ...But yes it will be packed for sure and I figured that it will just be less crazy than at the finish.

On my couch.... just prior to leaving for the weekly edition of the Saturday (group ride) World Championships.

 

[Catwhoorg]

At home.

Streaming online because I doubt NBCsports will have it live.

Digital not reached you yet? Host broadcasters here have created 24 new channels and are streaming absolutely bloody everything.

But cycling will be primetime nowadays anyway.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Just checked, its actually live on NBC at 5am. So we should get the whole thing.

Colour me surprised.

(as it the Womens RR on Sunday - with a later start of 7am)

 

[RedheadDane]

At home in front of my TV

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

I'm going to watch it on the telly all the way through. I shall be on the sofa or something.

 

[Froome19]

When I went to watch the TOB last year, there was a brilliant atmosphere throughout central london but you could tell the fans who were there, were ones who appreciated the sport for what it is.

This time round it is going to be a bit different, but the atmosphere is going to be unbelievable with record forecasts on the streets according to the Olympic organisers.

 

[ParfaitAmour]

Will be at Box Hill without a ticket.

I'll be the female perspiring from the stress of it all

 

[rickshaw]

I'll record it. If it turns out to be just another "Cav Love Fest", I'll delete.

Something tells me the coverage will be riddled with interruptions from gymnastics and feelgood stories about synchronized swimmers. But maybe we'll get good coverage of what might be a fantastic race.

Though you'll need to login with proof of cable tv subscription with MSNBC to get the full coverage. Not everyone has cable, and there's no way to "purchase" an online pass either.

 

[bangnz]

Plenty of free streams will be available on the net for anyone that wont have it live on tv... If you can stand the popups/ads

 

[TubularBills]

No need to watch, Cavendish from 300 meters.

Preordained by Sir Sky and blessed by the Queen of England.

 

[JPM London]

Probably watch on Eurosport player, but might rent a car and go somewhere along the route - definitely NOT going to fight London's mad Olympic traffic to get a fifth row view of other spectators standing closer to the action... I did a bit of that for the Jubilee which must be enough crowd ridicule for one year for this fan. Also I'm not sure I want to be seen with all these new-fangled fans who just discovered the sport...

But please let us know how the IRL experience goes!

You could, um, ride your bike there.

If I lived anywhere reasonably close to the route, I would watch for sure, even if just on some random flat stretch of the road in the countryside.
