Armstrong Foundation to Hold Auction

NEW YORK (AP) -- An auction of 15 yellow designer items will
be held next month as part of an effort to raise $6 million
for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

The auction will run July 6-16, it was announced this
week. Oscar de la Renta donated a yellow dress and clutch
from the spring/summer 2004 collection worth $15,000;
Manolo Blahnik donated a pair of suede banana boots; Louis
Vuitton is giving a custom-made yellow Epi hatbox; and
Robert Lee Morris has donated an 18-karat yellow gold
bracelet worth $7,000.

The yellow items symbolize the color of the leader's jersey
at the Tour de France, which Armstrong has won five straight
times, and also Armstrong's battle to fight cancer.

For those Lance fans that don't know, check out
www.wearyellow.com... It's a cool site. Plus, you can also
show support by buying yellow bracelets ($1-each)to help
raise money to help folks dealing with cancer. They are
getting popular too. Keep an eye out, you'll see lots of
people wearing them...

Nah, you just need to ride faster. I've discovered that a
speed of 7+ mph, while climbing, is enough to keep the bugs
away. Slower than that and they're all over you.
