“I just don't want to get clobbered too bad. … I don't have any illusions of grandeur. … I hope I get in the race and get re-acclimated to the tempo and the speed and what it is like to be around 200 guys in a fast-moving group.”
Lance Armstrong touched down in Sydney, Australia, to a gaggle of reporters …

This photo I shot on the Foothills Trail in Pierce County, Washington, makes me feel warm all over.
It's a hot June day and that's the volcano Mount Rainier soaring in the background.
I just posted this rail-to-trail photo, and a couple of others, to the Rail-to-Trails Conservancy group on flickr.com
There already are more than 300 photos in the group of people riding their bicycles on rail-trails all across the US…

Lance Armstrong will be easy to spot in the Tour Down Under peloton beginning next weekend, regardless of whether he's wearing the leader's jersey.
The 37-year-old comeback cyclist has said he'll be wearing his own black-and-yellow kit during the week-long race and will be riding his own distinctively decorated Trek Madone 6.9 bike.
[Update: Jan. 11 — Armstrong said Saturday morning on Twitter that he'll wear Astana kit in races, but train in Livestrong gear. See the new Astana team jersey that features a yellow Livestrong band on the left sleeve.]
Armstrong is racing on Team Astana for no salary and no bonuses. He has said one of his main purposes in returning to cycling is to draw attention to the global epidemic of cancer. A good way to call attention is to fly the black and yellow colors of LiveStrong. …

There's a trail plan underway that would enable bicyclists to visit dozens of Colonial and Civil War-era historic sites from a single off-road trail.
Bicycling advocates and history buffs are working to link 11 bicycle trails in the mid-Atlantic states to create a 185-mile circular historical bike route.
Called the Grand History Trail, the project would fill in the gaps between trails in Maryland, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.
Along the way, it would connect the historic cities of Annapolis, Baltimore, Frederick, Gettysburg, Washington and York and points in between, such as Colonial-era settlements and Civil War battlefields …

Here's a photo I shot of cycling personality Bob Roll when he last appeared at the Seattle International Bicycle Expo in 2005.
Not exactly the clean-cut Versus TV commentator that appears on cable, but his humor and stories were just as good, if not better, in person.
Bobke is returning to Seattle to speak at the Cascade Bicycle Club's Friday evening, March 13, special presentation that precedes the bike expo on March 14 and 15. He won't be appearing during the expo like he did four years ago …
