Armstrong arrives early at RAGBRAI
Committed to riding the Thursday stage of RAGBRAI, Lance Armstrong showed up early on Wednesday for some pedaling between Waukee and Newton.
A 7-time Tour de France winner, cancer survivor and all-round celebrity, Armstrong's appearance is likely to cause a ruckus wherever he goes, but no more than at a bicycling event that draws nearly 10,000 cyclists. …

Dealing with post Tour-de-France depression
I woke up at 5 o'clock this morning, just like I have every morning for the past three weeks to happily watch the Tour de France live on OLN out here on the West Coast.
