Lance wins the Leadville 100

 This is a tough race. There are tougher races out there, but in Mountain biking, this is one of the toughest. 100 miles all above 10,000 feet. Lance rode it last year and lost by two minutes to 6 time champ, and local hero, Dave Wiens. This year was different. Lance won, and won big, beating the course record by over 16 minutes.

 “He’s Lance Armstrong. And he’s just off of the Tour,” Wiens said. “Last year he was just off of the couch. That made it a pretty fair fight for he and I. This year I rode fantastic today. I’m happy.”

 That sums it up.

 I really want him to be clean. If he’s not, I’ll be terribly dissapointed. But for now, this guy is my hero.
