Grabbed the Union this morn and saw headline "Here Comes Lance!" Yes, Golden Boy Lance Armstrong, 7 time Tour de France winner & cancer survivor, Levi Leipheimer (best finish at Nevada City, 1998 champ) and Chris Horner of Astana Cycling Team will be joining the field this Sunday at the 49th Nevada City Classic. Their chartered plane will be possibly landing at GV airport. Leipheimer wrote, "I'm excited to see Nevada City agin, it's been 11 years since I've done it, in the beautiful Sierra Mountains." This should be GREAT news for shopkeepers, restraunts and race watchers. The big boys race starts at 5PM. I'm thinking of bouncing back and forth from Commercial St. (uphill) to Broad St (speeds of 50mph) to see this pretty historic race.
