Meat heads of the world unite: So now you know what Lance Armstrong has been up to.
Lance Armstrong has helped the self-styled ‘king of Instagram’ Dan Bilzerian win a $600,000 bet for riding from Hollywood to Las Vegas within 48 hours.
Bilzerian is the “star” of Instagram, playboy and professional poker player who has gained 16.5 million followers on the social media platform by posting photos of his flamboyant lifestyle.
He is known to post photos of hoards of scantily clad women and of himself shooting machine guns and just about everything else that a 15-year-old boy would aspire to in life for about five minutes.
He seemed to hit it right off with Texan Armstrong who helped Bilzerian trained for the near 300 mile journey despite the 35-year-old claiming he hadn’t been on a bike for 18 years.

Venture capitalist Bill Perkins bet Bilzerian $600,000 that he couldn’t ride from his home in Hollywood to Las Vegas via the Mojave Desert within 48 hours.
He had until March 31st – last Thursday – to begin the journey.

It's pretty sickening to see the public delayed by the police to accommodate something like this.

Bilzerian – who is said to have already had several heart attacks as a result of his lifestyle – set off last Tuesday and made it in 33 hours.
However, he drafted behind a support vehicle on what looked like a near recliner bike for five hours.
He teamed up with Armstrong for training advice before the challenge and was pictured on bike rides with him in the build-up.
While Perkins lost the bet he seemed pleased at how much it had taken out of Bilzerian. “He looks like the Grinch, his skin is green,” Perkins told the New York Post.
“He’s looking like death right now. He’s in bed with chafed buttocks, a fever, hot and cold [flashes], chills, wobbly legs," he add in the story headlined The biggest jerk on Instagram just won his $600K bike bet.
“His immune system is down, and every virus you can have is rising. I was hoping his muscles would seize up, but they didn’t. He used all his willpower.”
So now you know what Lance Armstrong is up to these days.
