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. His winning speed in 1982 was 12.57 mph :-) cheers, John B. |
