Race Coverage DVD's
Tom Kunich
(as in the last two years) the quality of the DVD's has fallen dramatically.
Disk after disk will start blanking, skipping or in one case the same stage
was on two consecutive disks but with the front couple of minutes cut off
from the second one so that the disk play time met what they claimed. Hmmm.
Other disks played once and then started blanking and skipping and sometimes
not playing at all. When I contact WCP they replace them but sometimes the
replacements are little better than the one's being replaced.
Also a couple of years ago the Tour de France disks had music so loud that
it drowned out what was being said some of the time. And of course it was
usually when what was being said was important for a change.
Has anyone else been having these problems?

they're done. It's hard enough to get through it the first time.

one word, bittorrent.
only drawback is lack of choice for the commentary language. mostly
dutch (i think if only because of the sporza bug and susan walker
mumbled something) or english, but the occasional french. i already know
english/french, but now i know two phases in dutch (phonetic since i
don't have one handy) 'kop von wiestrat' (la tete de la course) and
achtervolgers (les poursuivants).
most of the big cross/track/road races came by.

demoniod usually has a few races available, eurosport coverage and
commentary recorded live, commercials cut out- some good stuff there.
If you have the bandwidth to download, and can wait a day or so, I
would highly recomend it.

Wait a minute.
So which is worse, having ridden RAAM and picking
that as your RBR name, boast, and mark of distinction -
or _not_ having ridden RAAM, yet picking that as your
RBR name?

Dumbass -
It's not a joke. I honestly feel that way.
22 hours/day on the bike? Insert drugs here.
thanks,

actually you don't need drugs- all day all night and next day isn't
that hard, very relaxing actually- any drugs (amphetamines) would
probabally kill your liver- just have to pace yourself, and have a
comfortable set-up. I can't do 20+ hr rides anymore because the wife
is working and I have to be home to look after the kids. thousands
have done pbp, so what's the problem ?
