The experience that I had yesterday is going to stay in my heart and in my life for the rest of my life.Lance Armstrong is not only my hero but someone who has inspire me to be a better cyclist and a better human being. But I had never seen him so close,I Saw My Hero Lance Armstrong At The AMGEN Tour Of California Articles and yesterday I did. And he looks so good, he looks so young, handsome and healthy. I always thought that he looked good in the pictures in the magazines, but oh man oh man, the pictures don't really favor him. In real life his face looks like a baby's, he looks so young and handsome, he is kind and smiles a lot. And as he went by on his bike right before to sign in and 2 minutes before the final stage 8 of the Tour of California started, he LOOKED AT ME AND SAID HI!The only bad thing about this is that my hands got frozen and I couldn't take a perfect picture of him at that moment. But I got what I could -this picture from his left profile- some more pictures and some videos too that I am dying to share with all of you.Lance Armstrong is more than a hero to me. He is so real and so perfect. He is my daily inspiration and nobody can destroy the love and admiration that I have for him. Seeing Lance Armstrong in person yesterday pedaling his bike and about a meter away from me was one of the most amazing experiences I have had in my life.Lance didn't go to this tour to win. He went to help Levi to get his 3rd win at the tour and to act as a great domestique. And Lance did. Lance accomplished his goal and showed us that he is good at everything he does. Lance Armstrong is just...good, excelent, amazing at everything he does. He was a down to earth cycling teammate and performed very very well. Come on, Lance finished in 7th place overall in the general classification after 3 and a half years of retirement, folks! THAT is an excellent accomplishment!Go Lance, go and continue living your life because by doing so you give millions of people in this world HOPE to kill cancer, in fact, you give HOPE to kill any fatal disease, and you give me HOPE and encourage me to be a better human being and a better amateur cyclist.I love you with all my heart, Lance. Thank you for existing. Please take care of yourself because millions of people need you here on earth for long long time.NOTE: I will be uploading more pictures and videos that I took yesterday later in the week. Right now I'm going out for my 3 hour bike ride and I'm wearing my new King of the Mountain red jersey that I bought yesterday at a tent at the AMGEN Tour of California. By the way, the jersey is made by Hincapie Sportswear. It is fantastic and great quality!
