After my Trans Am ride I rode Cycle Oregon with the same bike less panniers. Other riders were on bling road bikes. At the end of one ninety mile day I rode off the front of a chain gang to catch a passing tandem. I was the only guy to bridge the gap.

Anyone else experienced the fleeting Legs of Lance Phenomenon?

Brilliant,I bet they loved seeing a bike with a rack drop them 🙂

Yup,had a mini version of Lance legs when I came back from a long touring trip once.
Went out on the club ride when I got back and ripped the legs off them 😯
