I read an article about him in the . . . Maybe it was the New Yorker? Not sure, I was babysitting at the time, I think. But I was in awe when I was done. To the extent that for Chanukah, I bought my dad Lance's book, It's Not About The Bike.
I mentioned that all my dad's cycling crew (The Prairie Village Yacht Club) try to stick to Shiner Bock during the Tour because it's Lance's beer? And they say it like it's obvious. I'd had no idea, last year at Jebus's going away party, and I said, "Hey Dad, what's up with the new beer?" He and Jebus's dad, and Mr. Brewster (member of PVYC, my little brother's former math teacher) all kind of turned and looked at me and said, completely deadpan, ". . . It's Lance's beer."
It was kinda scary. But then, the PVYC members are kind of scary. I should know. I'm one of them. :)
On Lance. . .
