I have seen the Tour of Canada and National Cyclocross Championships a couple of times, along with regional domestic pro races around New England.

Cycling is a good spectator event. It's free (cheap family event) and it's hard to get closer to athletes while they performing in any other professional sport.

I DVR and watch every race that they put on TV. I then ususally get a lot of hours recorded then watch them all in one day. Today is probably going to be a day like that. It started for me when they started airing the Tour de France on TV on VS around 2003 or 2004. I would love to go see it in person someday. I wish they would show more races like they show The Tour with complete coverage, instead of editing and chopping up the race so a weeks worth of racing is covered in one hour.

OLN / Versus use to do live daily coverage of Giro, but stopped several years ago. Too bad. It was great seeing Pantani ride live though!
