The When is July. Four years ago, the Prologue was on our wedding day. Oh.....DH was a tortured person that day!!

"23 days in july"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
july 7th thru july 29
prologue in london saturday july 7th (this is a stage that does not count as a stage)
stage 1 is sunday - london to canterbury
there are 20 stages (plus the prologue) with two rest days (jul 15 and 24)
stage 20 is the ride into paris, the famous ride onto the champs-d'elysees

it is available daily on the versus channel (formerly OLN) which is a premium channel,
but usually the weekends have network coverage

i'll be watching and DVR-ing

I used to messenger in London. And I have done that route to Canterbury too. Can't wait to see it all again.
I watch on Eurosport who broadcast in umpteen languages. And guess who is one of their French commentators - Richard Virenque. He is sometimes invited over to the English too. Lucky me!
Could we ask DoW and Python and anyone else to be on the route and hold up a sign saying Team Estrogen??

I admit -- I know nothing about any of the racers, but want to see the route. I'm sure I'll discover the racers during the process of ogling the scenery!

I don't think we have Versus, though. I've never heard of it. But I'll check and see what I can find out!

By scenery, you do mean boys with GREAT legs in tight shorts, right...or were you actually talking about SCENERY?!

It's likely to be a high numbered channel if you have it. It's 60 for me and 76 down at my in-law's beach house.

If you go to the Vs website, you can punch in your zip code and it tells you the station number if available. Good luck...I hope you get it!

Versus isn't a premium channel for me as I have basic cable with Charter. & it's Ch 39, lumped in with all of the sports channels.

[pooks]

We've got it!

Looks like Time Warner Cable includes it as basic.

(However, it didn't show up when I put in my zipcode on the Versus site. I noticed that one suburb of Dallas was listed with TW as Channel 31, and that's the only Time Warner there. I went to that channel and sure enough, it's there. So I'm thinking it must be standard in the entire Dallas area.)

You mean there is a diff ???
I have a very wholistic philosophy when it comes to this kind of thing!

The When is July. Four years ago, the Prologue was on our wedding day. Oh.....DH was a tortured person that day!!

And he still married you?? If that's not proof of true love, I dunno what is

I get my TdF fix during the day by using the links Regina provided for real-time webcasts, as well as dailypeloton.com. Later on, to catch up on anything I've missed during the day and have some serious laughs, I check out Schmalz.

Will Thor SMASH! again this year? Only the Schmalz knows...
