Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
It's not that I wasn't interested in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge's last stage from Golden to the State Capitol in Denver yesterday -- no, of course I was, it was a big deal -- it's just that my interest was mild enough not to overwhelm my simultaneous desire not to leave the comfort of my air conditioning and cat video marathon. Luckily, there were plenty of other suckers to be right there in the crowd for me and, in this modern age of YouTube, film the exciting parts so I could later see it just like I was there, except in multiple locations! It's, like, better than the real thing! And now, my friend, I'm bringing the magic to you.

The win went to Team Radio Shack's Levi Leipheimer, with a handful of other American's hogging the winner's podium; for more, see Colin Bane's recap from this morning.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
