Steph, I hope to see it in person one of these years.

Alex, husband and I have gone to see the Tour of California bike race for a few years now. While yes, the official pack comes through in a clump, there's usually a break-away ahead of them, and the waiting and anticipation kind of hype it up, especially if you get in an area where they're announcing the status of the race (like the king of the mountain points or maybe a sprint point). This last time we saw a stage where they did 4 laps of the same course, so we got to see them each time. On that one, they were strung out quite a bit so it was a bit more excitement.
