Olympic cycling gold medalist, Boisean and University of Idaho alum Kristin Armstrong will greet fans, sign autographs and give away free copies of a new UI poster featuring her in London with her gold medal, pictured above, tomorrow at the Capital City Public Market in downtown Boise. Armstrong's appearance from 10 a.m. to noon outside the Vandal Store, 821 W. Idaho St., is sponsored by the UI, but UI spokeswoman Ysabel Bilbao said it's "not just for Vandals, but for our entire community." Added Bilbao, "There will be posters for everyone and Kristin will be there to sign anything people want." Fans are encouraged to bring personal sports memorabilia for the Olympic cyclist to sign.

Armstrong's appearance will be under a Vandal tent outside the store.
