Remember that five person bike we told you about? Check out this entry and illustration by Brian Duffy from the Register. It is a hoot --real story...
Most riders never knew that Lance Armstrong was on the ride yesterday. Starting later in the day he cruised under the radar wearing a plain white jersey. His cover was blown outside of Ames when the Mable family aboard their five person megabike saw him come by. Not believing who they actually saw go by, Dave Mable asked a rider who had dropped back from the Armstrong group if it was, in fact, Lance himself. The rider nodded. The Mable train cranked it up to catch onto the back of Lance’s wheel. At this point, most people would say “Hi Lance.” Not Dave. He yelled, “Hey wuss — on the Trek. Real men give the Mable train a push.” Lance turned and gave Dave the Jan Ullrich look then dropped back to visit with Dave, his wife, Dee, sons Ryan and Noah, and daughter, Anna. Then the Mable train ran out of steam and fell off the pace.
Another one of our favorites --this is totally how we felt, particularly on day two!
