Loved the video! I'm an avid cycling fan of almost 50 years. I just had this video pop up in my "recommended". I'm going to watch all you uploads tonight and tomorrow. Glad I found the channel 🤘🏻🇬🇧
I loved going to watch the Coors Classic! I was a teenager then, and along with my neighborhood friends enjoyed riding our first "10 speeds". The Vail, Tivoli, and Boulder criteriums where a favorite.
I love to see these beginnings of American road racing, Greg, Andy, Gavin and George... Notice the pain on the faces as riders cross the finish lines! Funny how we don't see that today in the professional peloton.
I had Galli components on my Gitane. The Red Zinger inspired me to buy a Peugeot CFX-10 frame and build it up with Italian components. I still have it today., Campagnolo NR/SR ‘early ‘80’s!
That was too funny. Although I must admit as a Hoosier kid addicted to his 10-speed, with friends who cut some of that limestone, and family that farmed the area, the movie was huge to me! I was picked up to ride the “Little 500” but didn’t go through with it. I did ride a road race with Dave Blase in the 80s and we had a nice chat.
American Flyer's, is made after this race. The actor named Cannibal was a real person, and the Russians did come that one year in real life. Watch it once a year.
This upload is over 3 years old but almost all the comments are from the past 10 days or so. I guess the algorithm finally picked up the channel after 3 or 4 years😂 🤘🏻🇬🇧

Fabulous, I started riding in 1974 so Coors was The race that competed with the Tour for our attention
The 80s just had such a unique special feel to it.

When Colorado was still a paradise.

Jim McKay was a fantastic announcer!!
When bicycle racing was simple, one bike, everyone had similar frames, components and gearing. Truely let the best legs win!

Cool blast from the past. Love all the retro equipment and gear.
"It's picked up despite Breaking Away" LOL .

That "two day wheel change" was epic. Son, Rae Dawn Chong cleaned your clock!

8:13 That's Héctor "El Gallo" Pérez. Great rider and amazing person. Such a fun guy to be around! Mexican Olympian in '88 too.
I hope Jacob got reunited with his parents.
Brilliant race
Is that Eric Heiden in a 7-Eleven jersey?
Absolutely! Fresh off 5 golds on ice skates. The 7-Eleven sponsorship was largely built around his prominence.
Them where the days
Я не знав, що була така гонка!
Me, either.
Cool classic is no longer. But ua-cam.com/video/iwmLEkp6A9w/v-deo.htmlsi=ApfNbjgURM4lBjXh. Is every year still.
ua-cam.com/video/tLC-gvLtg-s/v-deo.htmlsi=5lOs8DKsP80wq1cy. Still exists
These guys are sprinting for $50.
