HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!!
VERSUS NETWORK
Well, if it’s July 4th, then that means the Tour de France starts tomorrow. We watch quite a bit of cycling in our house - just about every Sunday is Cyclism Sunday on the Versus Network.
The Versus Network is the official broadcaster of the 95th annual Tour de France which takes place from July 5th through July 27th. This years Tour de France covers 3,500 kilometers in 21 stages, including 2 personal time trials and 2 rest days.
