    I'd love to have a crack at something like that...after booking one month holiday from work, of course! :wink:

    Pretty good time, that is...great achievement.

    The distance makes it look fun, but the course is rubbish. Coming back down a descent people are climbing on a mtb race? Stupid. Also everything looks like easy to mild fireroad.

    Do you think that is reason enough to skip my first day back at school? :P
    Although it would be hard to go for a ride with him as the cable to my rear mech snapped today at Glentress and I destoyed my knee when it got mashed in beetween the top tube and the handlebars,
    So effectively I'm riding a single speed to school :D
    I'm still not sure which gear to leave it in... :?

    Pfftt... School is for LOOSERS!!!

    (JOKE!!!!)

    But I'd skip it to go for a ride with Lance! It's a once in a life-time / very long time opportunity!
    Boo-yah mofo
    Sick to the power of rad
    Fix it 'till it's broke

    I think you might be able to keep up with him for all of 30 seconds, before he vanishes over the horizon.

    yeah mate, thats why it would be hard to go for a ride with a seven time tour de france winner

    a casual ride to LA involves an average speed of 25mph over 80miles LOL

    If I was your teacher I'd understand. It's extra-curricular, it's meeting a role model, it will be very educational to see just how fast he is... can you honestly tell me a day at school will fulfill al of these :lol:

    Lol, Lance averages just 15kmh and he describes the course as easy.
