Looking for a chance to hang with Lance but don’t have an extra $45,000 Cdn lying around for a 2 day ride? Well PowerBar might be able to help out through their “Ultimate Austin Weekend!” promotion. One lucky winner (and a friend) will, in addition to meeting Lance at the Ride for the Roses Charity Event in Austin, get round trip airfare and hotels, $500 bucks to spending money, one years membership to 24 Hour Fitness, and a $1000 donation made to the Lance Armstrong Foundation in the winners name. Entries can be submitted until August 22, 2006.

Vacation travel can be a bitter sweet proposition for cyclists. Flying with a bike isn’t practical, but without one, you can miss out on a week or two worth of training, and, more importantly, the opportunity to try out some different routes. Thankfully, Colorado based ExperiencePlus heard the market calling. Starting this year, cyclists heading to France and Italy can reserve a road bike, hybrid, or tandem through the company’s European bike rental division - BikeRentalsPlus!. The company will even deliver its bikes - free of charge - to hotels and villas in parts of Southern France and Northern Italy. Additional services they provide include bike fittings, design of local tours, luggage shuttle service (for self guided tours), and rental of roof racks, saddle bags etc.
