Over the weekend, two conclusions to arguably two of the biggest stories in professional cycling doping scandals finally came to an end.

On September 9th, Lance Armstrong threw out a 140 character or less blast on Twitter that stated the following: Hey LA – get out of your cars and get on your bikes. Time to ride. 7:30 tomorrow am. Griffith Park, LA Zoo parking lot. See you there.. The result was almost 1,000 riders showing up [...]
