would have been fun:

Cycling legend Lance Armstrong has used a Twitter post to invite people to an impromptu bike ride in Scotland.

300 people in Glasgow turn out to join Lance Armstrong on a training ride:

I reckon I could beat him on my hard-arse hybrid.

The Divine Victoria says she gets bods chancing their arm when she's on a training circuit.

She's a saucy minx, toys with the chuffers, she lets them inch past, then she bangs into granny gear and creams them.

Guys, she's an Olympian, what chance do you think you have?

You should work in the media.

Ask him if he minds doing a 50 mile leg of the relay at top speed whilst he's in the area!

I like the comment of scotland having their three days of sunshine for the year.. *guffaws* .
BTW anyone able to pick-up what the scot guy shouts on that link right at the end when that idiot photographer is getting in everyone's way?

the video made it seem pretty hectic, lots of press getting in the way or riders trying to catch him up etc. Wonder if he was there on his own, or with some team mates. Would have been a chance of a lifetime, and a dream for many people to ride with him. Imagine trying to keep up with him. pretty dam cool

yeah maybe he has his TdF video coming out or something, i know that the 2009 video is coming out now, seen advert on canal+ but maybe he just wanted a ride somewhere he hadnt been, and wanted to give his core fans an experience. He could have come here and said nothing, went for a ride, and that was that.
