Cool video, thanks for posting that. I was able to ride with Sean Kelly on a similar group ride back in the early 90's. Unfortunately that was before ride cams were easily available. Having that video is a cool souvenir.

LemondFanForeve, Contador tweeted about the ride about four days before. Lemond had his public ride, Palo Alto Grand Fondo, about two weeks ago. Sorry you missed that one.

But, yeah most of the time, it is a ride for a fee behind a cause.

Great video man! I wonder if I know you through twitter... you look awfully familiar. It was cool to see Cullinan back mixing it up with the local TV news crews again, he used to be a Sports Anchor back in the day. Wish I could have made it down.

At the end, right after you say the weather worked out... is that a rain drop or sweat that hits the lens?

I'm not aware of any cyclist asking for money.

Thanks. I meant(when i asked if it costs something?) is there some sort of charity/or something you have to donate to, to ridre along? I mean, no disrespect to any pro cyclist who does it. But, a guy like Greg Lemond, just rides, and doesnt want someone to donate $$$ to a charity of his, for the right to ride with him? it's like that in golf sometimes, you have to pay amount X in order to play a round of golf(maybe for a charity or something), w/Phil Mickelson, or David Toms?
I mean is it totally on the up and up, or is there some sort of catch to it? Again, Not trying to disrespect, or offend someone, I seriously do not know how these things work.

Great Video I got to see just how smooth his cycling was like a liquid
For comparison purposes
Here is my picture https://imageevent.com/filliepix0607/...=4&s=0&z=2&y=2
Over 200 pictures of riders that passed me before i went by the camera person ( That is if you care to look at them) That is 46miles in 6.25 hours
I call it my " ED Wood Collection"
