Challenge Lance Armstrong, Virtually

Admit it, when you are pedaling away down any Chicago street the bike lanes fade and in your imagination it’s just you and Lance Armstrong leading the peloton.

This year, cycling site MapMyRide is offering you a chance to map your ride miles, and times against Lance Armstrong and the riders in the Tour de France. You can win prizes, but mostly it’s about the enjoyment and competition of comparing your best times with the best cyclists in the world.

If you haven’t seen MapMyRide, be sure top check out this program and its other features. Including, an ID bracelet you can buy (with or without a RFID chip) that will identify your location at all times. An application to track your map your rides and track your progress. You can also share your “secret routes” with the world.

See you on the trails, and don’t forget your helmet.
