Well I think this sucks - Lance related

Here's one of Lance's bike and hey - he has a Garmin 305 just like mine!! And I thought the 2nd photo was funny - his yellow jersey lying in a heap on the wet ground...

THE yellow jersey?

[kelownagirl]

I'm guessing probably not, but it sure looked funny. I'll bet his mom would have hollered at him.

THE yellow jersey?

Looks like it could be a Livestrong windvest (or perhaps armwarmers??). It would make sense to see either of those two clothing items sitting in a heap next to his helmet (what looks like his helmet, anyway), .

There's no way he would wear THE yellow jersey to a Livestrong event. He'd very likely be in Livestrong garb.

Cool ride, though -- I definitely would have worked to raise the dough for the honor. Not sure if it would compare to my comparatively-cheap $100 donation to stand next to, touch, and ride with Eddy Merckx last year. THAT man is THE cycling god.

Sounds like you had a great Lance-chasing day, Kelownagirl. Way cool.

Folks, he has SEVEN of them! I bet Sheryl has even worn them.......

Okay, here's a seemingly sexist (but really only a newbie) question: Do guys actually wear armwarmers? Somehow, I thought they wouldn't wear something like that.

Love the pics, kelownagirl. Thank you!!

Do guys actually wear armwarmers?

Sure!

nice pics

[redrhodie]

kelownagirl, thanks for posting those pics! Axel looks so cute (as does your hair!). Oh, that hill must seem sooooo long some days. OOOf!

[Geonz]

Oh, yea... guys wear armwarmers. It's GEAR

[BabyBlueNTulsa]

GREAT slideshow! Thanks for sharing!!

[Grog]

Great shots Barb!

I'm annoyed that he wears a ninja outfit (all black) to ride though. The only yellow bits are on the bike and helmet, and not that visible. A yellow jacket would indeed be a better idea! Does he think he's too cool for that?

[Tri Girl]

WOW! I can't believe you guessed right on the route and got to meet Phil and see Lance close up. Turned out to be a great morning. Too cool!!! The pics are GREAT! Loved them- thanks!

I'm a Lance fan. He was an incredible cyclist. He was a pompus, arrogant a## before the cancer, and may have become one again- but it was so great seeing him ride in all those tours. Heck- I'm a fan of any cyclist who is talented (um... I guess that's the whole peloton at the TDF), but espcecially of the really gifted ones.
Axel is so cute- and so is Phil. How great that you were there. I loved how they were all spaced out going up the hill. You know Lance was like "ok slow pokes- climb the dang hill already" ).

Anywho- sounds like you had so much fun. Glad you went, and nice job scoping out the hills.

Great slideshow! I enjoyed the closeup of Lance's bike. One more thing, after seeing your pics, I'm never ever gonna complain about the hills in Missouri!
