OK, OK

Yeah I know I'm late to talk about it...Lance is going to race again. I got this from the LAF:


Dear XXXXXXX,
We wanted you to be the first to know – it's true.
There are times in life when the game changes, when you look at the world differently and you know you must do what's right.
So, once again, Lance is changing the game. Today, it's still not about the bike. It's about people, their families and friends fighting the greatest fight of their lives – both in the U.S. and around the world. It's about straight and open talk about cancer, breaking the silence and eliminating the stigma and discrimination survivors experience. It's about a moral obligation to fight this disease no matter who or where it strikes with everything we've got.
The LIVESTRONG Army's commitment and dedication has started a movement to change cancer policy, research funding and access to care – a fight we must all commit to continue. We cannot stop now. We must increase our efforts and work to make cancer not only a national priority, but a global priority as well. Together, we can help inspire and empower the millions of people affected by cancer worldwide.
Now more than ever, we need you to join us. Whether you make a gift, join the LIVESTRONG Army or consider the presidential candidates' cancer plans before you vote, you will make an important impact on the future of cancer.
Read the official statement or watch a video message to the LIVESTRONG Army from Lance in his own words.
Thank you for all you do to support our efforts.
LIVESTRONG,

Doug Ulman
LAF President and CEO

Personally I'm excited. Can he do it? Who knows? But I'll bet it'll be fun to watch no matter what the outcome is. He has been keeping in good shape based on his performance at the Leadville 100 not too long ago, so I guess he can hop back into training for the TDF. I am being a tad forgetful, but I thought that I read that he was going to do several rides with Astana.
