the Tour on TV

[jobob]

Ah, that time of year is upon us (Jo does a Happy Dance ).

For those of you who don't already know, the Tour de France will be shown on US TV on the Outdoor Life Network (OLN). OLN is a part of various cable and satellite subscription plans.

Here's the OLN Tour coverage schedule. If you plan to tape the live early morning coverage, just know that coverage of the mountain stages (and many of the other stages for that matter) can go as much as an hour over the scheduled time slot.

If you don't get OLN, now's the time to make friends with someone who has it.

- Jo, who will be in front of the tube at the crack of dawn every weekday morning for the next 3 weeks, sucking down Peet's French Roast*, THE official coffee of le Jobob Tour de Couch 2004.

(* Oh, and just so you know, my addiction to Peet's has nothing to do w. LA's plug for it on the Lance Chronicles ... Peet's coffee was what tipped the scales in my decision to move to the SF Bay area about 18 years ago. Still, I got a big kick out of the fact that Lance too appreciates great coffee )
