Soon Lance Armstrong won't be the only Tour de France phenom to spend some quality time in the North Carolina High Country.
Greg LeMond will be in the area March 19th through the 23rd visiting with cycling studies students at Lees-McRae College.
In 1986, LeMond became the first American and first non-European to win cycling's most prestigious stage race. He also won the Tour in 1989 and 1990.
LeMond's comments on the sport's troubled relationship with performance-enhancing substances have brought him into conflict with some of the most famous names in the sport.
LeMond is expected to lead a group ride March 20th. More on that as details are finalized.
