I was in Boulder for the finale of the Coors Classic and expected to see it there. After reading a few bad reviews of the film, I have heard that although the bicycle scenes were quite good, the movie was not to be released because of a weak plot. I guess the powers that be in the movie buiseness felt that "Conan the Barbarian" had a more powerful plot than could be found in a movie about bicycling. ( jim curl ) ( san jose )
