9 years? pathetic.

Why?

Back in my day, it only took three years

Lance Armstrong surrenders!

and no training wheels!

Actually, it is pretty impressive. C'mon, the guy is 63 years old.

Jesus Christ, this guy is like Forrest Gump

i met a guy on my plane trip from siberia to alaska who was trying to accomplish a similar feat. he was doing it on a motorcycle, though. started in london, made it through europe, africa, the middle east, asia, even indonesia. the guy was in indonesia when the riots occurred in east timor. said he was glad to be in an area where there wasn't any political unrest going on (siberia).

i think he had the best part of the trip left to go when i met him: the alaska highway (very cool), canada, the u.s., and south america. then he was going to take a flight back to britain.

This had nothing to do with this post but, since there are no general FARK message boards, I figured I'd just post anywhere. Doed anyone have te address of the hypnotic Flash page Zumbo com or zungo.com or something like that. It was just a bunch of shapes and a deep voice that kept saying. "Welcome to Zumbocom." Can anyone help?

Farkin jerk done completed my life dream, and Optimus_prime Lance will never surrender, i mean hell you lose a nut or two and tell me if you could win the Tour DeFrance..


sorry bout that its just that Lance Armstrong has been my life long idle...

Yea, and he sells shrimp too! Cheap tags on sale here

Good job waste 9 years of your life on a farking bike

Ironwindow: Lance Armostrong is your idol not idle.

I was just using Lance's name as a cliche. I am a mountain biker, and while I don't do much road riding myself, I absolutely admire what Lance has accomplished. Us riders have to stick together.

oh my ass!!

Slacker! Get a job!

for the guy who wanted it

He never would have made it without:

3,000 pushups? biking around the world? he must be a pretty fit guy

While I am no mega-endurance fan, this is a heck of an accomplishment, especially when you break it down a little. I race (Master's amateur) and if you can average 200+ miles a week, that's fairly large. He averaged 350 miles/week - for 9 years straight - and dude's 63! Pretty cool, and yes, it's also odd...

Cheers, Cb... (LA's web guy - LanceArmstrong.com)

Bet he's got a lot more insight than the career cubicle-jockeys here putting him down. Certainly lived more.

Thanks a lot farkers...

Betcha i could make it in 4

What next? Around the world pushing a wheelbarrow?

this is amazing..I would love to travel the world just seeing people and looking in the faces of people I would never see otherwise. I salute this person.

apparently, the ocean crossings were the tough bit..

looks like me after i leave the buffet bar :-p

YUT YUT!!

Why in the hell would he ride a uncomfortable bike for 9 years? Dude, spend the money and go out and buy a motor home.
