STAY ON THE COUCH
A golf-filled Sunday.
For golf fans — and we mean diehards — the great thing about the British Open is that you can watch an entire day’s coverage and still have time to play 18 holes.
That will be the case Sunday, when the final round of the venerable tournament plays out at the par-70 Turnberry in Scotland. TV coverage starts at 4 a.m. on TNT, then moves to KMGH-7 at 6 a.m. If the weather cooperates, a champion should be crowned by 11:30 a.m., leaving plenty of time to hit the local muni for 18.
For handicap purposes, Tiger Woods entered the Brit a 2-1 favorite to win his first since back-to-back Opens in 2005-06. Sergio Garcia had 15-1 odds. And two-time defending champ Padraig Harrington was 22-1.
GET OFF THE COUCH
Moonlight mission.
It’s certainly something to see, the sight of hundreds of cyclists slinking through the city late at night, headlights blinking and bells ringing.
That’s the scene each year for the Moonlight Classic, a 10-mile, noncompetitive late-night charity bike ride through Denver that runs Saturday.
The race starts and ends in front of the State Capitol building downtown, then follows a course through several neighborhoods, including LoDo and Cherry Creek. A family wave starts at 10:30 p.m., followed by a gonzo wave at 11:30 p.m. Riders are welcome to complete as many loops as possible within the time limits.
Also this year, the course will be closed to traffic, with drivers reduced to one or two lanes and cyclists given their own route.
