"oh ya?" "yeah dude!!! i loved you in dodgeball!!!!" "what are you serious?" "yeah bro you were great!" and his friend just about flipped out saying "dude wtf is that the only reason why you're a fan?" and i said "yeah dude.... why else would i be?" and he got super defensive and said "bro try 7 world titles of tour de france!" and i replied with "whats that?"

lance knew i was joking.. and was laughing but his friend thought i was serious... it was great.

wait do you mean as in he wasnt actually there? if that is the case call the russian river brewery and ask "was lance armstrong there after the tour of california race through santa rosa?"

cause i promise you he was and i did. he was sitting with friends very low key no one was walking up to him cause everyone is a regular there and see's enough famous people there to not really care.

either way it was funny, and he laughed at it. his friend did not and looked like he was gonna cry when i acted like i didnt know who lance was other than dodgeball haha.

OK I might get flamed for this...
This bike race is going to bring out all the wannabe bike racers in the bay area. I don't like the bay area bike *****. WTF do they scream about their "right" to the road when most of the time I see them ignoring stop signs, traffic signals, road rules and courtesy?? Worst of all, why do they never seem to follow the "slower traffic to right/yield" courtesy?

No flames here, buddy. When I'm out on my bike, I'm a vehicle like any other, and I have to follow the same rules of the road as cars do, or else face tickets just like a car does. Now that being said, I don't always stop at a stop sign when there's no other cars or bikes coming the other ways, but i do slow the heck down and make *sure* that there's no other traffic.

Unfortunately, even more than most other hobbies, bike riding (especially guys riding racing bikes) is populated by a *lot* of *********.
