Lance Loves Tucson!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Lance & the Radio Shack team are training in Tucson for a few weeks. He called Tucson a "cycling mecca" with good climbs, nice flats & wide bike lanes.
So, I'll be watching for him while I'm riding. Who knows - he may need a domestique.Last edited by Dogmama; 12-08-2009 at 04:57 PM.
To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

A friend of a friend saw them at the Saguaro National Park loop road that I ride about once a week. Not when I was there though ....
The weather has been cool and rainy today- with snow on the mountains, so they probably didn't climb up to 8000+ feet on Mount Lemmon today ;-)
I have to say- I love Tucson too, so we have that in common....

I thought the same. I am sure new kits are coming soon. Lance modeled the new jersey on twitter

The riders are still under contract with their old teams until the end of the year (most of them are from Astana) so that's why they have to keep wearing the old team clothing. It happens every year. I remember when Popovych switched from Lotto to Astana last year he still had to wear his Lotto jersey turing the training camp.

I attended the book signing here in NY. Hundreds of people. I took vacation time from work and was more in the front. I got there at 9:45 and he came at 1:00. It was well worth it. The book is awesome. I have it on my coffee table. Originally Posted by azfiddle

DH trails Team Radio Shack
Well, we didn't actually smoke Lance, but saw Team Radio Shack go by this morning, and because my husband got lost from the group we were riding with, he ended up trailing, tailing and then getting into the very rear of the peleton while they were still going at a casual warm up tempo ... (not to say the DH didn't have to work hard- 5 miles to catch up after he made the decision to go for it!)
