Landis' book, “Positively False: The Real Story of How I Won the Tour de France,” comes out June 26 and he'll immediately start a book-signing tour that will take him to bookstores across the country.
I'd expect Landis, and maybe co-author Lauren Mooney of Bicycling magazine, to appear on radio and TV talk shows at the same time.

Starting in San Francisco, the rolling fund-raiser made its first stop in Santa Cruz, left, on Sunday night at Harvey West Park.
The “inside” story of the event, which raised $11 million for AIDS research this year, is provided online at Experience AIDS/Lifecycle 6. The website offers bike tour images, four blogs, and a podcast all updated daily. …
