red zinger to coors...

for my viewing pleasure this week, I have added a unique dvd to the collection. its a 3 disc set documenting the classic red zinger and following its conversion to the coors classic. it was 1986 when I first saw it on tv, and I bet I can still recite the 1988 coverage. the video features names like jacque boyer, dale stetnia, george mount, bob cook, a very young davis phinney and steve bauer, lemond, and alan mccormick. international names like patro jimenez, bernard hinault, louis herrera.

some great throwback jerseys from gs mengoni, celestial seasonings, elf, denver spoke, bianchi, etc.

its a great disc to watch as a throwback to what really set the scene for american cycling.

its been a fun 60 minutes on the trainer tonight.
