                                                          It’s the white lever hoods.  It’s  the pearl white Benotto tape.  It’s all the shiny bits.  It’s the stem.   It’s the round, deep bars.  It’s the glint from the summer sun on the  DT spokes and box rims.  It’s the 53 x 11.  It’s the Number 1 on his  rainbow jersey.  It’s the violet Avocet and Z’s.  It’s the fork rake.   It’s the bidons that say, “American Caffeine and Sugar.  Serve it ice  cold.  Bitches.”  It’s the blue iridium Oakley Razor Blades that we wish  we still had and could wear just one more time.  It’s riding without a  helmet and not giving it a thought.  It’s descending at 80kph with more  than enough cool to flash us a smile.

That was twenty years ago. I remember it so clearly, like it was this afternoon.

That’s Greg LeMond. That’s my hero.
