I was planning on running today then last night I got a text from one of the guys in the cycling group saying they still meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I quickly changed my plans.    The group was small but we still had fun, we did almost the exact route I did yesterday with a few more additions, like climbing up Dimple Dell road back up to Wasatch, that one hurt, my legs were jelloy.  I was quite happy to see that I was still pretty much the strongest rider despite not being on a bike for almost a year, and these guys are pretty tough, they do LotoJa every year and are training or the Rockwell Relay right now so that made me feel good.  They probably hate me showing up on my cheap $900 bike and saying, well I can't run, I guess I'll ride this dumb bike, and then out ride them.

Tomorrow I run. Oh and I talked to my Doctor, he is going to refer me to someone who does Ultrasound guided injections for one last try at a cordizone shot.  If that doesn't work I heard them say they will send me off to a beautiful ranch in Montana where I can sit in a pasture and eat grass the rest of me life.

Nice biking today, I really should get a bike, I'm just afraid I'll never use it!

I like how $900 is cheap for a bike.

Its the only sport that skiing is affordable compared to! :-)

Nice ride Lance

Cycling is definitely not a poor mans sport. Probably the main reason the Kenyans aren't dominating the cycling world.

Golf is in there somewhere too.

You have spend money to make money. I don't see any Kenyans making 7 figures anytime soon running. Of all endurance sports, cyclists definitely make the most but it's a HUGE time commitment.

These are from 2008

Alejandro Valverde $4 million

Cadel Evans $3.4 million

Frank Schleck $1 million

Slyvain Chavenel $1 million

Christian Vande Velde $500,000

Average support rider: $200,000- $300,000
