Wow, that would've put this race on the map big time
The headline read, "Three cyclists in Tour of California run down by psychotic CHP!!!"Tell us the truth BJM, this near miss created a brown spot on your chamois, didn't it? Holy mother of pearl, what the hell was that CHP thinkin?!!! Thankfully he avoided y'all.
Just prior to that, Bob Roll commented, "...this puts Ben Jacques-Maynes in the jersey on the road as we say". Pretty cool.

I think the appropriate term for this incident is "Brown out".
Those guys were hauling - that CHP probably had to be going over 40mph to pass them.

Yeah, they were pretty non-chalant over it, but damn, that was close. Hopefully BJM will comment. I watched it several times and each time it made me squirm...

bjm would have just pushed that copper out of the way if he'd gotten too close.
... yikes, though.

I know you said don't show this to Goldi, but I figured other people might want to see this video. Goldi, you are banned from watching this, got it?
CHP nearly runs down cyclists video
Please right click and save as to view. No Paul Sherwen non-chalant audio - sorry.
