As anyone who saw “Race Across the Sky” about the Leadville 100 mountain bike race knows, Lance doesn’t cope with flats very well. But in this case, he seemed relaxed and chatted with me as we walked toward each other. He decided the tire had lost air by separating from the rim. “You’d think the flat gods would give me a break once in a while.” (Lance) I apologized for not having a CO2 cartridge in my pocket. Although he was obviously disappointed, he remained cheerful and resigned to his fate. I gave him a slap on the back for encouragement as he jumped back on the bike to see how far he could ride on a flat. I wanted some more pictures and ran along side as he took off. Lance grinned at me and tossed off a wave. - Photo by Stan Ford
