beltran brought back,this break was doomed anyway.even for colombians,too much flat

Really good coverage and quality considering it's a livestream. Also beautiful scenery. Maybe we will get some decent racing as well...

I wish they'd stop showing footage of mountains they're not going to climb.

 

[jens_attacks]

Right, USPCC advertisement on eurosport is horrid though .

Sad to say that agriculture, swimming pools, etc. in and around the "oasis" city of Pheonix, AZ suck the river almost dry, but further north through the Grand Canyon it still holds a lot of power. The Grand Canyon offers the best rapids, but also is a national park. That's where the permits and 10 year wait are in effect.

I once took a shorter trip on a guided raft out of Aspen on the Roaring Fork down Section of the Colorado. More scenic than action. They had massive snow fall this winter. So in early June it must have been pretty good. Those boats out of Aspen and any where not in a NP are pretty easy to catch.

You could do it on your own, but unless you have some experience, I wouldn't mess with it.

No, I won't mess with it, and would never do it on my own.

I would never mess with nature, and it's clear that this is a lot of different compared to Europe. Wide open, hundreds of kilometers, wild animals, wild nature, cruel, but beautiful and stunning.
You could spend your whole life around here trying to get lost or being eaten by an animal.

Thanks also to the others. I'll just open a thread some day, to check and get some recommendations.

No doubt that procycling also supports, and is supported by tourism.

Am I really going to hang around until quarter past 11 at night to watch a 4% climb to a finish.

How depressing.

HTC train on the front nice and early! Getting all the trains out before they disband I guess.

I have work in the morning, and a good book to go to bed with.

I just wish these lazy *******s would get a move on rather than neutralising the stage up to the last 5km.

White takes the stage. About to start that long gradual uphill to Crested Butte.

Here's an idea, read a book right now, and then you possibly still have time for a quick nap, because they look like they have loads of time!
