In fact, I raced with Lance Armstrong. Well, O.K., I raced on the same street at a different time as Lance Armstrong -- I was masters and he was Pro/1/2 back in the Montgomery Subaru days. But I still felt like we were close, and I got to know him enough to see that he was sensitive and caring young man.


My best was riding with Lon Haldeman during one of the early Race Across
AMerica (RAAM) sleep deprivation contests. The route went not too far
from a town I was visiting in central Pennsylvania (so it was toward the
end of the race), and I went to considerable trouble to ride to the
route and ride along with him for just a little while.

I remember saying only "You're looking good, Lon!" Which was a blatant
lie. He looked like death warmed over. As I recall, he was riding at
about 12 mph.
