While doping charges cloud his future in cycling, Floyd Landis visited the El Tour de Tucson bike ride that drew 8,125 participants this year.
Landis helped start the event on Saturday, watched from a scaffold, and talked with some of his supporters. He didn't participate in the 109-mile ride itself, although he has ridden in past years and actually won the race on a tandem in 1997.

Lately, I've had some opportunities to ponder the pros and cons of cycling in winter weather.
1. The good — Finally get a chance to pile on all those layers of polypro, fleece, windbreaker, gloves, booties, balaclava….

Cranksgiving is a bike race, scavenger hunt and Thanksgiving food drive all wrapped up into one.
Essentially, the cyclists get a list of 10 grocery items that must be purchased at 10 different locations. The first one back wins, and all the food is distributed to charity.
Some Cranksgiving events also have raffles, etc. There are no entry fees, but organizers say the racers should expect to pay $10 to $20 on food.
The event is held in several cities across the US. Locations and information about a few of this year's events:
