The first day he rode, that's all my buddy and I talked about. . . . . how he was probably already finished riding across the whole state and coming back to lap us, etc. Then we heard a buzzing noise like a swarm of bees and this huge group of cyclists pass us, led by two people in live strong jerseys. I laughed in amusement at all the people who thought they were following Lance. I even said to my friend, " Look at those posers! That guy was way too fat to be Lance." That was probably the stupidest thing I ever said. . . a minute or two later the camera crew came by. I could have jumped in the pace line and drafted off of Lance, but NO! I had to be the skeptic. Don't be like me, fatty, it sucked. I did redeem myself the next day when I saw him coming through a town where we had just stopped for lunch. Lance stopped in at a beer garden and I took my golden opportunity to jump on my bike and pass Lance Armstrong!!!! The best part is that there was a picture of him in the paper that evening throwing back a long neck - it must have been taken when I was passing him. This occcupies a place of honor in my scrapbook. oops! hit submit on accident Anyway . . .

This summer I rode RAGBRAI. Sometime before the ride, I had several friends email me copies of articles saying that Lance would be there too. I had the exact same thoughts initially, saving the one about single track, of course. But, being that there are quite a few more riders on RAGBRAI and the fact that I'm incredibly slow, I didn't think I'd ever see him. As with all your posts, this entry reminds me uncannily of myself.

Eddie Merckx was helping run it. On one day they all went out to do a hilly session. On the first big hill, Merckx broke away and when they got to the top he was sat on a wall, smoking a cigar. FC, watch what you say about Lance. With his newly reveiled hacking skills, you new site is vulnerable. Tim Al, I had a friend go to a training camp in Majorca a few years ago.

Hey, more and more people will beat Lance as time goes on. As they brag about it, they'll look dumber and dumber. Fact is, the only wins against Lance that count were at Worlds, Tourmalet, Alpe d'Huez or Ventoux, and in some time trials and maybe that time he placed at Paris Roubaix. Those are all in the long distant past, you'll notice. Might as well brag about beating fat old Eddie Mercx on his cruiser as he returns home from the pub... stupid. Besides, even two years retired and pretty fat, Lance can probably kick almost everybody's butts. Badly.

He will ruin it." Perhaps FC's website could be the official home of the LA webcam.

This is really affecting my decision to try the leadville 100 next year, or can I just be part of your support team, next year is your dad right, I could open the soup.

I could also see him responding to your blog the same way he responded to the computer hacker thing on Cyclingnews: "Oh boy ... just when I thought I had heard it all ..." One thing's for sure: the guy sure knows how to do retirement correctly, eh? I think anyone who reads your blog thought of you immediately after reading the announcement, Fatty.
