And I quote, “Lance is BACK”
This day just got a whole lot better! Just a few minutes ago, my sweet husband sent me an email with this subject: “Lance is BACK.” Within the text of the email was a link to a VeloNews article that indeed says that Lance is planning to come out of retirement for five races next year.
Anyone who knows me at all can guess that I think this is fabulous news! I’ve been a Lance supporter for years. When he was riding the Tour, I was a faithful, almost fanatic, fan. And, I have repeatedly mourned his retirement and the sorry state of cycling without him.
I get goosebumps thinking about July 2009: Lance and Johann together again, Lance climbing the Alps at ridiculous speeds and then sipping victory champagne on the Champs Elysees…I can hardly wait! (Honey, let’s book that trip to France to see the Tour like we’ve always wanted!We’ll have bake sales to raise the money!)
Now, if someone tells me that Lance and George Hincapie will reunite for this epic event, I’ll go completely nuts!
