Its Not About the Bike!!

What an incredible book! I wasn't that interested in reading it but Al kept raving about it so I grabbed it one day on my way to the park.

I couldn't put it down! I was in tears on every other page (good and bad tears). Its just wonderful.

Its Lance Armstrong's autobiography, and even if you're not into bike racing (I'm so not) its an incredible story of his life, beating his disease, growing up, and falling in love.

I highly recommend!

I always admired him, but recently I heard he had an affair and left his wife??

I didn't hear anything about an affair, but I know they temporarily separated. I believe they recently reconciled.

Lance article

He's fighting for his 5th consecutive Tour at the moment.

That is an awesome book. I absolutely loved it. Of course, I was very unhappy to hear that his wife seperated from him this year. So far, it looks like he may win the tour de france though!!!!

This was such an inspiring book. What an amazing story of perserverance! I am not a bike racing fan, but I loved this book!

I hope he wins his 5th Tour de France! GO LANCE!

I was so excited that he won!!!! I was following the race on the web Sat and Sun. Unfortunatley we did not show it live on any of our TV stations : (.

He looks so gaunt now - I gues riding close to 3,000 miles in 100 degree heat could do it to you.
