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!

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

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.

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.)

Putting in my zip code on the versus website says that it's not avail. in my area. But as my girlfriend and I were scrolling through the channels one evening because NOTHING was on (and mind you this was in June - Giro!) and then bam....146....Versus in all it's glory. My reaction was pretty funny....
"omg. OMG!
Versus!

I have a very wholistic philosophy when it comes to this kind of thing!
