The annual printed version of the Louisiana Multisport Report should be in the U.S. Mail by the weekend. Check your mail boxes and if you don't mind, let me know when you get yours. I will also begin distributing lots of them to area fitness clubs and retailers in the coming days as well. Hope everyone enjoys our annual printed Louisiana Multisport Report.
Cyclist Lance Armstrong's second book (I think the title is Every Second Counts?) has been a good and inspiring read so far (I'm just getting it from Christmas). He's got some interesting thoughts and his version of events that happened in various Tours de France are really fun to read. The lady who writes his books for him really does a pretty good job of capturing who Lance Armstrong is or at least how he wants the public to see him.
Is Armstrong's first American bike race this year going to be the Tour de Georgia. I hear that he and the U.S. Postal Team are planning on making a big U.S. splash in one of the big American bike races sometime in the spring.
I've never seen so many early registrations for the Saturday, April 24th
Louisiana Triathlon at New Roads. I have about 50 pre-registrations for the
event already, maybe the most January registrations in the 11 years of our
event. Wow. Active.com has been set for about a month now and lots of folks
are signing up on line or printing out hard-copy forms from the web site via
lawired.com and sending in applications.
20km Time Trial in Monroe Goes Well as First LaMBRA Event
From Tim Perry
Twin City Cyclists wishes to thank the 65 cyclists who braved the
rainy conditions to ride in our 20 Km bike time trial. We are most
appreciative that so many of you chose to get out of bed on a cold,
wet Saturday morning to race and hope all of you had a great time.
The results are posted on our web site at Twincitycyclists.com.
Many thanks!
Du the Donnie Du Set March 7 in Mandeville
Mark your calendar for Sunday, March 7 for the second annual Du the Donnie
Du duathlon will take place at Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville.
The Donnie Du is produced by Premier Event Management (same as Abitaman
races). Bill Burke brings his race equipment and management team, Team
Earthquake brings the manpower to do the set-up, race, and break-down. All

them with Donnie's fight against Lou Gehrig's disease. Last year the race
was an incredible success with over 500 doing the adult duathlon, about 80
children doing the kid's du, and a big crowd doing the 1 mile fun run.
Race Information:
Du the Donnie Du - 8 a.m. (2 mile run,10 mile bike, 2 mile run)
The Donnie Jr. Du - after the adult race - 1/2 mile run, 5km bike, 1/2 mile run)

Mandeville, Covington, and New Orleans. Otherwise, stay tuned for internet
applications.

Timmy Cappo's Rouge-Roubaix Set for March 7
From Jon Anderson
It's that time. We have about 70 riders signed up for Rouge-Roubaix VI. Last year, the fields filled up two weeks before the event, you might want to get signed up soon.
We added a Grandfondo event this year (another idea, again we are winging it here; but hang with us, we sort of think the Gran Fondo is for the mental cases that are not interested in a full-on road race).
Field Limits
A Race - Cat 1,2,3 and Masters - 100 rider limit
B Race - Cat 4, Cat 5, and Women - 100 rider limit
Granfondo - 100-rider limit
A Race - Cat 1,2,3 and Masters - 100 rider limit
B Race - Cat 4, Cat 5, and Women - 100 rider limit
Granfondo - 100-rider limit
This race is dedicated to the late Timmy Cappo, he left us on June 11, 2002; Timmy lives on in our hearts.
