Floyd Landis in Harrisonburg
I was stoked when Floyd Landis announced his intention to ride in the Shenandoah Mountain 100, the same race I was training for. He showed up at my local bike shop, Shenandoah Bicycle Company, on Friday night to hang out and sign stuff. He wasn't selling anything or promoting his cause. It was very laid back, and great to meet him in such a casual atmosphere. While a part of me is glad that he wasn't selling anything, I was disappointed that I couldn't buy another copy of his book to get signed; I had given my copy to my dad to read. Instead, I bought two water bottles, and James and Emma both went up and asked 'Mr. Landis' to sign a bottle. He was very good with the kids. He then signed a magazine that I bought, I told him that it was nice to meet him and that I was looking forward to riding with him on Sunday, and wished him best of luck with his case. It was totally cool. I didn't have my camera, so a friend took some pictures. If I can get my hands on them, I'll post them here.
UPDATE: Here's the photo of us with Floyd Landis.
