Yep, it's true. Didn't know where to post this little nugget of awesome, but I wanted to share with the group and I don't normally visit the Cross Country forum, plus I thought you guys might dig it...
Got an email this morning from the director of our local race series Mountain States Cup that Lance Armstrong will be racing Pro XC this weekend at Blast the Mass, which is the Colorado State Championships!
I've heard he's really hungry for UCI points these days, plus looking for a good "cool down" race after Le Tour. And after getting a good look at the State Champ jersey I guess it sealed the deal. I think he was overheard mumbling something about "darn yellow leader's jersey just don't have no STYLE... but that Colorado jersey is SWEET..." or something to that effect. Plus, since he's a part-time Aspen resident he figured why not line up against some local talent and give 'er a go.
That last bit was totally fabricated, but it's pretty nifty to hear he's racing this weekend. I wonder if Ned Overend and Dave Weins are coming out as well?
