I want to be that kid! Imagine: a) that epically beautiful ride and b) riding with Lance! I'm envious.
I so want to go ride those routes one day. My bike is named after one (the Izoard), so I think it's just fitting he should get to see the top of it one day.

Thanks for the link.
That is so cool!
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Too cute. I love it! Though I couldn't help but want to fix Liam's little helmet

I saw that yesterday and LOVED it! I am sure the boy was incredibly excited, but I also imagine his dad was insanely excited!
I wanted to fix his helmet too!
