ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — Lance Armstrong rode in a charity cycling event on a cool morning that had participants bundling up as if they were preparing for the slopes rather than a jaunt on the roads.

With temperatures hovering around 36 degrees Sunday, a band of riders followed Armstrong’s lead out of the starting gate. The event consisted of 25- and 50-mile rides through the valley to raise funds for Wapiyapi, a nonprofit organization that provides camps and support to families affected by childhood cancer.

The ride came after a week of appearances for the seven-time Tour de France winner, who is being investigated as part of a federal probe into organized doping in pro cycling.
