Lance Armstrong followed up his swan song in the international pro cycling arena with a fund-raising Twitter ride in the state of Queensland, Australia.
Armstrong's final appearance as a cyclist in an international bike race ended with a 67th place in the Tour Down Under. The 39-year-old finished 6:42 minutes behind winner Cameron Meyer, 23, of Australia.
The next day, Armstrong traveled to Brisbane to lead a 15-mile charity ride to raise money for victims of the devastating floods in Queensland. At least 20 people have been killed and many more displaced by the flooding.
The ride raised about $124,000. Armstrong signed autographs and talked to flood victims before the ride.
