The city of Boise will celebrate U.S. Olympic gold medal cyclist Kristin Armstrong Saturday.
Armstrong, a Boise resident since 1995, won the gold medal in the women’s time trial at the Beijing Olympics late Tuesday night. She is the first active Boise resident to win an Olympic gold medal. Boise Mayor Dave Bieter and Armstrong will lead a bike caravan from the downtown YMCA, where Armstrong teaches classes, to City Hall Plaza.
Once at the plaza there will be a public ceremony commemorating Armstrong’s achievement. (Idaho Statesman)
