On another note, watching the UAE Tour and another race in Spain this week has been cool and not just for the races but for the virtual travel. It is pretty neat to see countries I'll never go to and learn things about them I wouldn't otherwise. Dubai is quite the city to see not only from the road but also from helicopter feeds. Then you go to the O Gran Camino race in Spain and see spectacular coastal views. It really is neat.

What channel(s) or streaming service do you watch these on? I’ve seen the Tour De France on before but hadn’t really noticed much else, not that I’ve been looking. 

I’m one of those jerks on the side of the road… Been cycling for the last ten years. Sidewalks aren’t for bikes, at least not at the speeds we like to ride at. It’s the perfect activity and the best part is I can walk right out my front door and go for a 20 mile ride.

GCN+ has the most races streaming. NBC/Peacock airs the TdF and Vuelta while GCN+ streams the Giro. Those are the three World Tour races. 21 stages over three weeks. 

NBC/Peacock also airs Paris-Nice, Paris-Roubaix, Criterium du Dauphine and a couple of others. 

GCN+ has most of the rest. We paid $50 for the season which runs through February thru October. If you can't watch live you can watch replays. Check out the link. https://plus.globalcyclingnetwork.com/

The Strade Bianche is the next one day race next Saturday. It should be a good one with Wout van Aert joining his team (Jumbo Visma) for his first race of the season. He specializes in this kind of race. 

My husband has been riding for 25 years some of it in triathlons. Now he just rides.
