Lance says no to Leadville 100
From the Denver Post
Lance Armstrong has pulled out of the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race in Colorado, a high-altitude race he won in record time last year.
Armstrong spokesman Mark Higgins said Tuesday that the cyclist is still feeling lingering effects of a hip injury suffered in a crash early in the Tour de France.
Higgins said Armstrong also wants to spend time with his family before his children begin school.
Saturday's race starts 10,500 feet and climbs 2,000 more feet.
Armstrong won last year in a record time of 6 hours, 28 minutes, 50 seconds.

Wow, Lance is out. That's a bummer. Was looking forward to another epic battle. Will Wiens regain the title or someone else? This could be interesting.
