Thank You Lance!

Thank you Lance for such a great Birthday Gift! I always wanted you to win your final tour on my Birthday. I’ve dreamed of this since I was a young child. Wait a minute, I’m older than you, how could that have been? Never the less, do you realize what Lance has really accomplished with this triumph?


Bicycle sales have increased 10 –17% in the past few years. USA Cycling's membership has jumped by 30 percent since Lance won his first Tour in 1999. Just think about the overall impact alone on children worldwide who want to put down the videogame controller and get on a bike. Just think of what could happen to childhood obesity if these kids just rode 10 miles a day. Just imagine the impact they can have as they grow older and participate in riding events that help as many people as the MS 150 helps in the Lone Star State alone. I believe the true impact of Lance’s actions won’t even be fully felt for another five to 10 years when we have such a great riding mentality in America, that bicycling becomes more of a habit than a hobby.



I’m happy to announce that I now have $450 in donations. The photos are on their way, don’t you want yours? All it takes is a $100 donation. I realize that not everyone can afford the $100 so if you get 5 people to make donations of any amount you too will receive a print for your effort. How cool is that? Click on one of the photo’s to make a donation. Remember that this is a team effort. I’m doing the best I can to ride in this 105 degree heat. Everything is different training here. It is harder. Hot, stagnant, dust filled air finds its way to your lungs. I’ve never complained training for this ride, but this year’s heat wave has been brutal, but I’m not stopping until I’m ready for the ride. Please help in your own way. Your donations mean so much to those who would give everything to be able to get on a bike and ride. If you don’t donate for me, please donate for them. This years ride means more than any before, be part of it with me.

Have a great week, and take a moment to think about what it would mean to Lance if you got on a bike.
