Accordingto the "Metro" (so it must be true :wink:

) yesterday:

[quote]Seven-time Tour victor Lance Armstrong has reportedly agreed to ride in the Leadville 100 (a mountain bike race) in Colorado on August 11 with landis, who is trying to clear his name after returning a positive drugs test after his own Tour win, also among the entrants. race organiser Ken Chlouber said "It is huge for Leadville. (no sh*t Sherlock) Everyone is so excited about it"

My comments in brackets :!:

Fat Cyclist thinks it's true (and he's a big fan of Leadville) - otherwise he would have put it in his Fake News section.

I am assuming 'dream' date is tongue-in-cheek.

[quote]Carmichael said that the seven-time Tour winner showed signs of wanting to get out there with Carmichael and lead the charge. "I think he would like to compete in it [leadville]- he is such a competitor."

He is sponsoring the World Single speed champs.
