Lance is the man! I'd have to look it up but the average stage is something like 100 miles. Do that daily for two weeks?!!! I rode 100 last summer for the MS Tour, we followed up with a fifty miler the next day, that was painful. It would be cool to get paid to ride and find out how good you could get but this tubby guy knows better, these folks are some of the worlds best athletes and all the training in the world can't build the mental and physical toughness that exists among these men. To be the worst rider in that field is a completely unreachable goal... amazing. I'd still prefer him to ride for UPS
