Anyone going to see this? Anyone have a map of the route? Hoping to catch the time trial at the olympic green and the ride out of the city.

Hey, thanks for posting! I'd like to tag along for the time trial. I guess they'll be going more-or-less all day? I once saw the time trial stage in Albi for the TdF and remember we could basically show up anytime from mid-morning->later afternoon to watch...

FYI, if anyone wants to join: I'll be going to Wednesday Oct 5 Tour of Beijing TT at the Olympic Park from approx. ~1-4pm. Seems the start will be right off the subway stop. See the map/route/itinerary on this page:

Does anyone know a good spot to watch one of the proper stages, not the time trial?

Don't really want to stand somewhere & then see the peloton rush by in 10 seconds. Therefore, it should be somewhere where you have a good view on a longer stretch of the road or where they go uphill for a while.
