I met Floyd Landis tonight
Floyd returned home and had a small get together to raise money for his Fairness Fund. Like everyone says, Floyd is a real nice guy and he doesn't like a lot of attention. All that's gone on since the Tour and the resulting fund raising he's had to do can't be easy for him. He's definately not Lance Armstrong, cycling seems to be the only thing those two have in common.
So I got to meet him, got his signature and picture taken with him and talked alittle. I asked him where his favorite place was to do training rides and he said San Diego. Weather wise Lancaster County, PA can't compare.

Cool. My question to Landis would be, "Assuming you finally win your cases, do you think you can come back physically to compete at the same level as when you won the TDF?"

Floyd needs to learn how to wear a tie.

I know Armstrong and Landis aren't the tightest of friends but LA could raise more money in one evening then Landis could raise in a month. I would be a good cause.

Floyd's face has always looked like that.
