Lance Armstrong Races Argus for First Time

The upcoming 2010 Cape Argus bicycle race will be coming up in just a few weeks, on 14 March to be precise, and those looking for accommodation in Cape Town may well wish to try the southern suburbs of Rondebosch, Newlands, Claremont, Kenilworth, and Bishopscourt for their stay in the Cape.  This year bicyclists will be joined by the iconic American cyclist Lance Armstrong, who will participate in the world's largest timed bicycle race. A big thank you too to the owner of Hame Cottages for pointing this out!

According to news about the cycle tour, Armstrong tweeted his decision to enter the race: "Hey South Africa! Excited to come down in March. Bringing your man @darylimpey with me. And yes, we're racing The Argus. Hear gr8 things." Apparently there is also a bit of smack being talked by "the fine folks in Cape Town" about a "twitter ride record", whatever that may mean. To see what Lance Armstrong is saying about the upcoming Argus, follow him on Twitter @lancearmstrong. 

Whoever races this year will find no other bicycle race in the world that goes through such extraordinarily beautiful terrain... enjoy the photos of Cape Argus cycle races past!
