Lance Armstrong's KAWS bike is here....

[Rachel...lol]

This bike was auctioned off at Sotheby's for $160,000 - after Lance rode it, crashed it and broke his collar bone. I could pay money and get on it and have my picture taken but I'm not going to. My 4 hours of riding is donation enough. I'm at the 24 Hour UCC Event - I don't ride for another 2 1/2 hours.... sitting around with my laptop.... a little bored.

Yes, a much bigger, meaner looking Lance. You were looking quite fierce on that bike. 20 mins and counting and it's my turn to ride.... ugh

NO I did not see him, he wasn't there. The person that bought his bike brings it to events to raise more money for his foundation by taking pictures of people riding the bike.

I don't race - have thought about trying. I do ride - and do group riding stuff, etc. I have a wicked cadence and can push some serious watts for extended periods of time. I was still pushing strong in hour 4 last night....

You?

What category races are you? Are you on a team? Where do you live?

We have a Wednesday night circuit road race that starts here in May - I've thought about trying it for the last few years but never have definitely have a fair of racing for the first time. I might try for a duathlon first.... as I've run quite a few races, might be a way to ease into it.

i saw lance b4

 

[Rachel...lol]

I have no idea how this happened - but as of last night, my team's donation status has increased by $800 since last night... weird.

 

[Jon79]

its bc i give u luck

 

[Rachel...lol]

its bc i give u luck

Well that's a new one, my good luck charm?

 

[spk55]

i race the pro 1-2 races.
i live in missouri.
you ought to do some hard training or hard team rides till summer then get in a road race. get in the cat 5. you'll be fine.
just train for it, cause cycle racing really hurts.
how long you been training on the bike?

 

[Rachel...lol]

I've been riding on the road for 3 years - and teaching Spin classes for about 2 (3 per week). With my schedule it's difficult to put in some serious long rides (except on the weekend).

 

[spk55]

rachel
you're probably fit enough to get in a cat 5 race . try one out come summer time.
you ever need some pointers, please post up.. i'll be glad to help.
all the best..
