A Machine Called Lance

Six consecutive years winning the Tour de France.  Up and down mountains, pedalling almost 2,000 miles in a little over 20 days.  Inconceivable!

I admit that I've not paid as much attention to the race this year as I have in the past.  There has been rumors of possible drug use, which has tainted Armstrong's first several wins in some minds, but nothing was ever proven.

One other thing Lance Armstrong has accomplished with this win.  For the third year in a row since 9/11, the people of France are toasting and celebrating the strength, determination and sheer guts and will-power of an American - and for me that's the nicest part of all.
