Lance at the Gila...

So as with all of us, this is the first time I have ridden with lance, and as expected it was quite the experience. The start line was buzzing with Lance mania and it was clear that the field had great respect for the man and his achievements, and rightfully so. You would see the peloton giving him the extra space that a man of his stature commands. Needless to say I had my own little moment with Lance, though not so sedate. Coming into the finish with 8 miles to go I found myself at the front of the race. I was riding just outside of the echelon and next thing I know I caught an elbow in the ribs. I was a little shocked and wasn't sure what had just happened. In the next moments Lance rolls up next to me and not so kindly informs me that, I shouldn't be in the line. I suppose if your going to hear that I guess it is better to hear from a seven time Tour winner than anyone else. I guess I'll see what tomorrow brings in the Lance Armstrong show...
