I would to comment towards Patrick’s comments regarding Lance participation at this years Nevada City Classic. One word “Electric”!! As a rider in the P/1/2 field it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of us. I know personally for me the photos that have come back with me, Lance & Levi will be priceless in my scrap book. LA has put the Nevada City Classic back on the map.

After losing NRC status a few years ago the race has gone down hill ever since. In fact 13 P/1/2 riders were registered when registration was closed. Once the announcement was made it swelled to 130 riders and even Floyd Landis was turned away. So Patrick you talked about the pro riders that are making $13,000 and sleeping in their cars the night before…where were they. Its wasn’t until LA’s announcement that the Ben and the Bissell boys and Roman and OUCH team showed. Without LA this year we would have seen part-time racers like Justin England and his over the hill semi-pro Strawberry team ride in circles. For me and the 15,000 fans that wouldn’t have shown up, would have been disappointing.

Kurt,

I’m posting a gallery of selects shortly. I’m amazed by Armstrong’s legs. He’s a rolling Grey’s anatomy of musculature.

He had a bunch of supporters at the top end of the circuit and every time he rode by they’d yell stuff at him that produced the big grin.
