Lance Armstrong NOT riding the 2008 Three Peaks!

But here are four Americans who are... (photos - Bina Briggs. Click on image to view full size)

Keith Bontrager (Bontrager Wheelworks) - MTB guru, framebuilder, wheel designer, innovator, all-round Endurance Cross / MTB expert and 3 times Three Peaks competitor. Coming in from California. *And I've just realised that Keith qualifies for the Three Peaks / Iron Cross 'hall of fame' - as he rode IC in 2007...

Chris McBurnie (Capital Bicycle Racing Club) [centre]. My esteemed team-mate from Battenkill in darkest Upstate New York. Three Peaks debutante and is flying in especially for the event. He (like me) sports a most excellent moustache - or he did when I met him, so he must be an all-round really great bloke...

Alex Anderson (Santa Cruz County CC). Another Three Peaks first-timer from California.

Mark Michel (Bicycle Trip - AKA 'Bike Trip'). This is Mark's 8th time at the 'Peaks. He also is travelling from Cally to be with us again.

Sorry. No pix for the last two riders (despite extensive 'googling' - and the fact that Mark is a 'Peaks veteran, I can't ID him on any of the usual picture galleries) - so if you're out there guys - c'mon, send me a photo...
