I took Wesley Snipes rock climbing. He was very laid back and humble. I'd love to ride with Lance, man, I'm suffering from OP envy.

That is fantastic! What a thrill, obviously to be in the presence of Lance and the team, but also to be so close to those sweet rides they were pedaling. This is the closet I ever got; from the Tour of Hope last year in Pittsburgh.

That way, when both of your bikes hit each other, it will be like a blood bond between them. You will own everyone and tell them that your bike was fused with Lance's

Wow
I'd take an 80 on arguably the hardest golf course in the world anyday. My dad played it once and said if you find the sand off the fairway your done.

Thats pretty good, I always thought that she was taller..
Ive played Pine Valley 5 or 6 times over the years.. Its all you heard about and more.. Its filled with great holes, each one a classic.. The par threes have been copied by many especially at harbour town, but never duplicated.. The two par fives are each classics and for all but the longest are true 3 shot holes.. The par fours are broken up into long medium and short and are so on each nine.. The fairways are wide enough and the greens are large.. However the trouble is great and if you miss a fairway or green and are too bold or innept on your recovery finishing the hole will be an adventure..The greens once you find them can be diabolical so your journey once your on them isnt over until your putt is holed.. On my best day there I played right behind Dan Marino.. He looks like a pretty good golfer but I didnt get to meet him..I had played the back nine first and shot 36 one over.. To make a long story short I stood on the 8th tee needing two pars for 74 and went 8, 6 for even 80!!.. As Im older now and saddled with a couple of bad wrists and elbows and as my PV contacts have died or moved away thats about the best Ill do there..
