The global gossip press launched into fits of speculation after Lance Armstrong was seen taking a couple of dinners this past weekend in Austin with actress Kate Hudson.

New Belgium Brewery kicked off its 2008 Urban Assault Ride series with a first-ever visit to Seattle on Sunday.
Fifty 2-person teams bicycled the meandering course through Seattle and attempted the bizarre and fun challenges along the way, namely bicycle jousting, human wheel-barrow pushing and a big-wheels racing grand finale.
Seven other cities are lined up for the “contest” later on. They are Portland, Austin, Fort Collins, Denver, Madison, Minneapolis, and Chicago (dates below).
I stumbled across the event while cycling along the Burke Gilman trail down by the waterfront on Sunday …

As the Giro d'Italia begins its second week, the Italians remain very much in control of the race in spite of its international cast.
On Saturday's Stage 8, Riccardo Riccò of Saunier Duval won again (also Stage 2) in a bunch sprint in Tivoli, and Quick Step's Giovanni Visconti, left, held on for another day as winner of the overall leader's pink jersey.
Except for Slipstream-Chipotle's initial team time trial win on Stage 1 that put Christian Vande Velde in the lead, Italians Visconti and Franco Pellizoti have held the maglia rosa for 7 of 8 stages …

Twenty-three thousand commuters chose their bicycles on Friday in the Puget Sound region, making this the most popular Bike to Work Day ever.

Ms. Biking Bis headed down to the Seattle City Hall where scores of cyclists met up Friday morning for a spirited Bike to Work Day Rally. She took these pictures of commuters with bike shorts under their skirts, above left, and others dressed for success. (More pictures inside.)
