Lance Armstrong

... is in Adelaide with his new team Radio Shack to compete in Tour Down Under next week.

No 1 son, Greg, flew there with his bike for a ride with Lance Armstrong this morning.

Has just twittered a pic showing how close he actually got to Lance.

Cheryl will be there with Greg, Andrea and little Ainslie all next week, following the Tour.

There will be a public ride along one of the race routes on, I think, Thursday before the actual day's stage starts. Greg will be taking part in this.

As usual, I am loath to travel and am enjoying alone time at home with Flem.

Online newspaper writeup on the ride here.
