Inspiration from The Man, Lance Armstrong
So, unless you live under a rock , you probably all know that Lance Armstrong is going to be racing again this year as a pro after retiring over three years ago. His schedule and role is much debated, especially during the month of July regarding a little race over in France, bu the has indicated that he wants to ride more of the Spring Races and target the Giro d’Italia which is Italy’s equivalent of the Tour de France. He will actually make his first race at the Tour Down Under starting this weekend in Australia. He’s been spending the last week in Hawaii training and before heading to Australia and I came across a picture from last Tuesday on the Big Island of Hawaii that reminds me of his young days training on the mountain sides of France. We don’t have any climbs like this in Richmond Hill but the next time you’re riding that bridge overpass over I-95 or the train crossing on Hwy 17, think about this picture of a 37 year old climbing a 5,000′ mountain in the island heat.

Got something to say?
That’s a man size ride right there. I have run a lot of Hawaii and that heat will zap you in a heart beat. But to climb 5000 in it is truly numbing, HAMMER HAMMER HAMMER
