from cyclingnews.com: Three-time Tour de France champion Greg LeMond and five-time Olympic gold medalist Eric Heiden are scheduled to be special guests at the second round of the track world cup at the ADT Event Center, Carson, California this weekend, December 10-12. LeMond will be appearing on Friday, December 10 and Heiden will be on hand Saturday, December 11.
Ticketholders who purchased an all session package are welcome to attend a VIP meet and greet with LeMond from 5:00-5:30pm Friday evening in the ADT Event Center infield. A similar meet and greet for the general public with LeMond is also tentatively scheduled for Friday evening.
On Saturday, similar events are planned with Heiden, who was one of the USA's most successful Olympians as a speedskater and crossed over to road cycling, winning the USPRO Championship in 1985 and riding for the 7-Eleven team.

> To celebrate the first World Cup races at the new velodrome at Carson,
this is an open invitation to any list members in the Southern California
area to join Chuck Schmidt, Peter & Jan Johnson, and myself for dinner this
Friday December 10, 2004. The plan is to meet at 5:00pm for dinner and head
over to the velodrome around 6:45pm. My understanding is that as of today
there are plenty of general admission tickets left to all five sessions.

> I may have 1 (possibly 2) extra VIP ticket available to the Friday &
Saturday evening sessions. I know I have 2 extra tickets for Sunday. If you
want them, please email me off list. The tickets are $30 for each session
and are located, IMHO, at the very best row and section at this velodrome:
Row E, Section 113. Section 113 sits directly at the finish line.
