Is it OK to have a little hero worship at my age? I hope so, because I had a fabulous weekend. I got to meet a hero of mine, Greg LeMond! He is the honorary chairperson for the Tour de Cure and spoke Thursday night prior to the Saturday ride. I got there early and sat front and center, and if you look close to the crowd photo, you can see me and my silly grin…
I could have sat for hours listening to his stories…
and I got to meet him…
So on Saturday, I went to the Tour de Cure, and I completed 50 miles instead of my goal of 100. Had I not been an idiot and injured myself at the dunes with the quad, I think I could have done the 100 miles. As it was, I did the 50 and feel great. My legs don’t hurt like I thought they would and I am ready to go again. I was standing around the LeMond display before the ride long enough that they tossed me a LeMond jersey, so I got to start off with his group and got in some of the company photos! Of course, I got dropped on the first hill, but it was quite a thrill for me.
So look for me next year for SURE…!
