Cycling legend Greg LeMond to ride in Catoctin Challenge
'It's like Jack Nicklaus showing up at your golf tournament.'

Each year, a bunch of cyclists pedal away on back roads near U.S. 15, participating in the Catoctin Challenge.

Chances are, some passing motorist has cracked, "Who do they think they are, Greg LeMond?"

Well, one of this year's participants can answer "Yes."

LeMond will be riding in the 15th Annual Catoctin Challenge Bicycle Ride this summer, said Phil Heffler, founder and chair of the event.
