It won't happen. We got the leak in the roof over the second bath fixed so we'll be installing insulation and sheetrock. What an excititing weekend.

So....the USA Cycling/USADA are trying to figure out a way to stop Lance from riding.

“If he does participate, it would be up to USADA to determine what, if any, penalties would be imposed (beyond the lifetime ban) and then it would be up to USA Cycling to impose those penalties.”

Interesting...I wondered what was going to happen when I read that Lance was going to be there.

USA Cycling -the governing body of cycling in the USA, has confirmed that Lance Armstrong or any other banned athlete cannot take part in this weekend's Gran Fondo Hincapie charity event in Greenville, South Carolina.

W.o.w. When they say banned they mean BANNED! Next they'll confiscate his bikes.

It appears that Hincapie thought he had gotten the proper approval for Armstrong to ride the event.

The real question is will this publicity raise more money for (http://oakhillumcsc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/mowlogogo1.jpg)?

Seems like the lesson for George is to not associate his event with USA Cycling.
