What Drives Lance Armstrong?

Category : Sports

I saw this commercial on TV the other day and it just makes me all the more impressed with Lance Armstrong. People who know me know that I love le Tour de France. It is the greatest test of human endurance and strength, and Lance Armstrong is one of the greatest athletes of all times. He has overcome tremendous odds and obstacles to be the best. He is an inspiration to many.

I am so glad that he is back racing in le Tour this year. I hope he wins his 8th.

Great Video and Great Book

Category : le Tour, Sports

I saw this video on a friend’s blog and I had to post it here. This is so great and I am getting excited to see Lance Armstrong back in the saddle at le Tour de France. You can follow his training updates and just see what he is up to via his tweets.

For Christmas my son got me the book Lance Armstrong: Images of a Champion. I tonly covers up through his first 5 Tour wins, but it is still really cool to see the pictures. I have a dream of one day being able to go to France and witness a Tour in person. One of these days….

HE’S BACK!!!

Category : Sports


I just heard on the news that Lance Armstrong has decided to make a comeback. VeloNews has an article about it here. This is such great news for cycling and for me as a fan. I have always respected Lance and thought that he brought a level of integrity to the sport that it needed. Lance has said that he will even post his blood results on the internet for everyone to see that he is clean and he is not doing this for money, but for the joy of cycling. All I can say is…. “GO, LANCE, GO!” I can’t wait to see him in le Tour de France again and wearing the maillot jaune once again.
