It's still a PCMdaily-linked initiative, even if it isnt physically on the PCMdaily website! As well as encouraging activity in the Your Cycling thread. (Besides, the Twitter account made it onto the site-initiative award in the past)
My point is that the award is meant for 'official' initiatives by the PCM.daily team.
So that means Writer's Block has no chance for next year? 
When is your avatar returning, CT? It's strange not seeing those big white letters on the blue screen next to your name. |

Just gotta come up with an award category for stuff like the Writer's Block and the Strava Group

"Member Initiative of the Year" perhaps?
That could include both those mentioned, games like EPIC, GT stage collaboration etc.

You can always list your TDF podium music as initiative.

EPIC? UCPCL still stands as a better (longer running and more creative) Story Game section creation

Probably I forgot about it because I can't remember more than 4 characters as an abbrevation of something.

Really? You're gonna whine about a hypothetic list of stuff that might have gotten nominated if that award had existed this year?
Edit: Technically we're even talking about an award for 2014, where EPIC should stand a better chance than UCPCL

So I've been awarded a scholarship that will see me living in Rome this year from February until the end of June. This means that I actually get a chance to go and see Milan San Remo, Tirreno-Adriatico and the Giro this year! Has anyone got any advice for those of us who have never actually been to see a race live?

Thanks, it is pretty exciting. One of the perks of studying a niche field in a non-major, but still well-funded university is that opportunities like this sometimes come up.

Been mentioned several times in the cycling forum.
In short, unless you can walk around the start or the finish of the stage and meet riders, staff, etc. there, it's rather dull as it means long hours of waiting before the pack passes, generally much too fast (even on hills) for you to recognize more than a handful of riders.
Might be worth it if you can stand near a giant screen and/or if the race finishes on a circuit. |

I only meant that (about the strava group) half seriously and couldn't really give a damn. But, for what it's worth, it was founded by one of PCM.Daily's admins and uses the site logo. |

Can't really speak for those 3 races, but for going to watch a race live in general:
- TTs, Circuits or Climbs are the best place to watch races, simply because you get to see more. Failing that, somewhere with a TV screen - but that is hard to really plan in advance.
- Sometimes helps to think beyond the obvious for where you want to stand. There are often quiet places on the route just round the corner from very busy places.
- If going to somewhere you expect to be popular, and have the time to do so, get there early. It's worth the wait.
- If crowd size / race type allow it, try to view races from different positions. I always enjoy moving around the course for TTs/Criteriums more than just standing in one place.
- Depending on how much you get to go to, it's worth getting to the start for a race - especially if it is possible to roam around all the team buses and soak up the atmosphere.

After having watched it for the 10th time probably, I just have to ask here:
Who has seen The Return of the Killer Tomatoes? If you haven't, you should. It's great.
Plot is absurd, cast is great (young George Clooney and an Olympic Gold winner swimmer), real fun to watch.
I highly recommend this
And on the item, I would also recommend Black Dynamite.
Just two light, fun movies for someone who wants to have an evening of laughter. |

Apparently Rotten Tomatoes don't like Killer tomatoes because they gave these killer tomatoes a 0% rating.
