I can’t drop many people on a bike these days but I just blew the fuckin’ doors off Mike Pence on a Nantucket bike path. Day. Made.

Dear my fellow Texans, we have a choice. This guy or @tedcruz. It’s time for reasonable and balanced talk on ALL issues - here’s one snippet. WE are for @BetoORourke!
‘I can think of nothing more American.’ — Beto O'Rourke — the man taking on Ted Cruz — brilliantly explains why NFL players kneeling during the anthem is not disrespectful

Have we really come to a time and place where spirited debate is not only frowned upon, but feared? Where people’s greatest concern is being fired, shamed or cancelled? As someone all too familiar with this phenomenon, I feel I'm uniquely positioned to have these conversations.
Community note
Lance Armstrong was not "cancelled." Armstrong was the most dominant and successful professional cyclist in history, until 2013 when he was found to have been doping and was stripped of his titles and awards.
Armstrong himself later admitted to cheating for over a decade.

Yesterday in Uvalde, 800 bikes were given to every elementary student as they get ready to return to school. Seems small in the scheme of the unimaginable tragedy they’ve endured, but I truly believe there’s an unmatched freedom in bicycles; and in that freedom, there’s power➡️

On ✈️ & following @giroditalia via live reports. Why is it “sad” when one of the favorites gets dropped? It’s not sad, it’s a tough man’s game. If they don’t have the legs then tough shit. Period. Plenty of things in this world are “sad” but this isn’t one of ‘em. #HTFU

THAT WAS THEN
THIS IS NOW
This piece of art really says it all. In fact, it’s a piece I have looked to for inspiration many times over the last decade as my life has been, shall I just say, interesting.
But today, this exact date on the calendar, is different and the inspiration is also different. Very different. A year ago today I decided that my relationship with alcohol was off and no longer in my best interest. And also not in the best interest of my family, my friends, my team, and my community.
I believe everything in life should be viewed as either a pump or a drain. An asset or a liability. A positive or a negative. Alcohol had become a drain, a liability, and a net negative to me. This was my decision, and today, I feel like it has been the best decision I’ve ever made.
Six months ago I mentioned hearing ’a voice inside’ that I had finally listened to. A year in to this journey, I still hear that voice, only now it’s saying, “Hey Lance, I am really proud of you”. Makes my day every time I hear it.
Lastly, I want to thank my beautiful wife @annahansen for her incredibly thoughtful support over the past 12 months. Babe, you’re my rock and I love you immensely.

I know all the cool kids are riding and racing gravel now.
This old dog’s racing days are behind him but I still love to pedal. And I travel a ton.
When I do, I almost exclusively bring my gravel bike.
Rides just fine — in fact great — on the pavement.
And, not always being familiar with where I’m heading, I can always ‘explore’ a little. Opens up a lot of possibilities.

This is what was going through my mind 21 years ago when I had to maneuver around @josebabeloki at ~40mph.
And as a dad, my favorite and most important title, it’s pretty cool to show my kids certain things.

I wasn’t born to run but I’ve always loved running.
Some of my fondest memories as a young athlete were from running cross country at Plano East.
The training, the team camaraderie, and the racing. 1989 district champs baby. Go Panthers.
Fast forward to 2024 — the ankles are cranky and the hips are stiff, but I still love getting out there and lacing ‘em up.

Great to finally get the mountain bike dusted off this season.
And what better place to start off than NWA (Northwest Arkansas)?! Arguably the mountain bike capital of the world.
Looking forward to summer in Aspen filled with time on the dirt.
I often get asked I prefer riding road vs dirt — let’s put it this way, if I knew it was the last ride of my life, it would be on a mountain bike.

I know I said I’m not training for anything, but…
Lately everybody has been talking about something called “HYROX.”
So I had to get after it.
What is a HYROX?
8 x 1 km runs interspersed with these stations:
1. SkiErg
2. Sled Push
3. Sled Pull
4. Burpee Broad Jumps
5. RowErg
6. Farmers Carry
7. Sandbag Lunges
8. Wall Balls
I was like: “Doesn’t seem that hard.”
Well, I was dead wrong. This shit is hard.
Who else is gonna give it a go?

Over the last ~year I’ve definitely doubled down on my own health and wellness.
Some days I go hard and others are more chill.
But every single day has one objective and that’s to move.
Doesn’t have to be a 🔨 session in the gym or on the bike. Could just be a 20 minute walk around your neighborhood or park.
Thanks @Ketoneiq for keeping me movin’.
