This proves out my 2004 vote for President... W. the mountain bike wimp vs. Kerry the road bike century rider; he might be a little boring, but at least he's one of us :-)

I love this about pro cyclists. They are so much more accessible to the fan than in any other sport by far. And I'm not talking about the average cyclist, but even the greats! You're never gonna see me playing ball with Jordan or catch passes from Peyton manning. Great photos and a great cause. Congrats!

Very cool!
We have a Ride with Lance opportunity in our area but you need to raise at least $20,000. I don't know enough people to raise that much!

Depends.... I'd say our pace was "fast conversational". We went fast enough, but not so fast that we couldn't talk. On the flats we were cruising around 25-27mph... slower up hills... faster down.... Our average for the entire day was 24.3mph according to my computer. Not blazing, but not slow. The volunteers told us that there were only 5 riders ahead of us (out of 5500).

we rolled into mma at 10:45 by my watch. As we were pulling into the mma, kerry pulled even with lance, they grasped hands and raised them in a sort of victory salute. I was right behind them and once everyone realized just who was rolling in to the finish, we were quickly swarmed by dozens of volunteers, tv cameras, reporters, press, fans, etc. Paul and i were left ignored. I even said "hey guys, i just did it too!" and got a laugh out of the folks around me. It was like at the end of a stage in the tour when lance was immediately surrounded by press and can barely move.
