How Tall is Lance Armstrong?
(This has nothing to do with single parenting, except that Lance Armstrong is a divorced dad like me, and I’m into cycling, and it’s the dog days of summer, so screw it… Enjoy.)

I’m pulling for Lance too! It’s a shame the French media hates him so much, but on the up side, the French people hate the media, so it all balances out. :)

I don’t want Armstrong to win..
I want him to slaughter the rest of the field..
I want it to be such a lop-sided victory, they are waiting at the finish line with a specimen cup for him to pee into!!!
:D :D :D

Mmmmm, love a man in bike shorts. Yellow is not my favorite color, but it’s perfect for LanceLookAtThoseGorgeousLegsArmstrong. Oh, to see this in person! I’d be eyeing a single bead of sweat as it glides down over one of those amazing calves.
Happy Weekend!

That’s great but I can do one better. I too am 5:10, cycle, etc. And Lance and I had the same cancer! So why can’t I ride that fast????

I’m hoping he wins. I’d love to see the French bitch about that. haha
A few years retired and making a comeback. That would be better than Michael Jordan.

I love Lance. Funny how he’s so close to you. Well except for that whole number of wins thing.
Sucks about Levi though – he’s my absolute favorite. And Hincapie! Really sucks he didn’t get the yellow jersey yesterday.

I agree, major bummer that Levi broke his wrist. Too bad Hincapie didn’t get that yellow jersey for a day. He’s a great rider. But it is a bike race. No one’s going to give it to you. As for the mountain stage today – wow, Alberto Contador really took off! I’d love for Lance to win the Tour, but Contador showed he’s the stronger rider right now. Kudos to him. If he takes it all, he’ll deserve it. He seems too small and slight to do well in the time trials. When people ask how tall is Lance Armstrong and how heavy is he, and find out he’s medium height and weight, I think it explains why he does well in time trials and mountain stages both. I’m surprised a super climber like Contador, who is more slightly built, also time trials well. But, that’s why they go out on the road and pedal.

Lance raced awesomely today. stage 17, pulled a great move in the mountains. Contador will probably win, but Lance is still a true champion. Also, he’s unusually big for a cyclist, most of those dudes are little.
