Also, while he was up here, he did lots of rides in the area and a group of us spotted him (I'd recognize those calves anywhere, even covered up in gunky, cold weather!) while we were riding the LW loop...he was headed in the opposite direction with another rider and gave a friendly wave.
I think Lance was here maybe once or twice, but most of the wind tunnel testing was actually done with a body double - no joke! One of the guys who was on my husbands team a couple years ago was paid to be Lance's body double for most of the really tedious wind tunnel testing stuff. He was the right size and shape - even down to the slight hump in the back. Very nice guy - he was studying Oriental medicine and I think the body double gig was needed cash (he was the one who told me I could get $25 massages at the school!). I believe he's finished up school now and has gone on to bigger and better things.

Jeremy otherwise didn't actually look like LA, but there is a guy around here who totally does. I know its not really him, but there was this guy who'd show up to the Thursday crits at Seward park (dressed completely in solid black too) who looked so much like Lance it made a lot of people look twice.
