More than 45,000 people have signed the online petition to “Let Levi Ride” in the 2008 Tour de France.
Leipheimer, third last year to winning Astana teammate Alberto Contador, will be on the sideline in July if Tour owner ASO (pronounce that as you will) continues to say that Astana is not welcome. ASO is punishing the reincarnated team for doping violations committed by riders no longer on Astana and management that is long gone.
Last week’s RBR poll asked if Astana should be allowed into the ’08 Tour and 89% of 1,200 voters said yes. If you’d like to see Levi and his team in the Tour, it might help to sign the ASO-bound petition at http://www.letleviride.com

The Sonoita Pass road ride is a beautiful out and back ride that takes you to the Sonoita junction. There is a good climb that starts off gradual then gets much steeper for the last 10 miles before getting to the top of the pass.
The starting elevation is about 2,800 feet and when you crest the top of the pass you are at about 5,200 feet.
There is a good shoulder on the road with plenty of room, but be careful because cars are traveling at high speed.
Just get on Hwy 83 and go! If you are looking to do a century ride from Tucson, you can easy add 10 more miles and turn the ride into a 100 mile day.
There is plenty of food and drink at the junction where hwy 83 t-bones with hwy 82. Plus the junction is a great place to take a bathroom stop.
It is a great ride. You won’t be disappointed!
