No doubt, all our Spyns Tour de France clients are keeping their eye on Lance last professional race, The Tour Down Under, and have heard all about the tragic floods in Queensland, Australia, last week. Queensland is the hometown of Robbie Mc Ewen, Lance's new Australian team mate.
Lance Armstrong's Twitter ride, auctioned jerseys and prizemoney will be part of efforts at the Tour Down Under to raise funds for Queensland flood victims.
The race has announced a series of measures to support the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal.
Australian cycling stars Robbie McEwen, Allan Davis, Simon Gerrans and Michael Rogers have been prominent in helping organise and publicise the initiatives.
McEwen and Davis were forced to change their pre-season schedules and shift their training from Queensland to Victoria in the last few weeks because of the incessant rain.
“We cannot sit back and do nothing, it is not the Aussie spirit, this is our way of helping,” Davis said.
McEwen and his new RadioShack team-mate Armstrong will raise funds through the Texan's famous Twitter ride, which he announces through his hugely-popular feed on the social network.
McEwen, Armstrong and thousands of local cyclists will gather at Glenelg's Wrigley Reserve at 10am on Saturday for the ride, the second time it has happened in Adelaide.

“People have been hard hit by this crisis and whatever small role we can play to help we will but we urge everyone to make a donation to the official Premier's Flood Relief Appeal,” McEwen said.
The Tour starts on Sunday evening with the one-day Cancer Council Classic race at Rymill Park, just outside the Adelaide CBD.
The 12,000 Euro prizemoney from the Classic will be donated to the appeal.
All 19 teams will donate a signed team jersey by every competing rider for auction on eBay.
The six-day Tour then opens next Tuesday and the start of stage two on Wednesday will have a minute's silence to remember the flood victims.
