Lafayette Welcomes Cyclists from Around the World for Cycle Zydeco, April 4-7, 2013
Seven time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his titles and banned from cycling for life. USADA made the announcement Thursday night.
Earlier I posted about joining a weekly 'club' and the benefits of doing so: Critical Mass is a local/national bicycling organization that meets in Acadiana.
Critical Mass Lafayette met this past Friday evening in Lafayette and went for a little ride. I was leaving work from our back parking lot and had to wait for them to get past me, and it took a few minutes... there were several people riding!
Was I worried it wouldn't be a success? Yup! Reason being: bad tires. My bicycle has been sitting in the barn for 5 years now, with NO maintenance. I used compressed air to spray off the dust and cobwebs, then aired up the tires, adjusted the seat, and hit the road.
