Cycling legend Lance Armstrong will set the pace in the first Columbus-to-Athens charity ride for cancer research. Armstrong -- who captured the world's imagination by beating testicular cancer, then winning a record seven consecutive Tours -- will ride in the Pelotonia Tour in late August and serve as honorary chairman. He will join an expected 2,250 other riders, starting Aug. 29 from the lawn of Chemical Abstracts Service near OSU. There will have three distinct ride experiences: a one-day 50-mile route; a one-day 100-mile route to Athens; and a two-day 180-mile route to Athens and back.
