Dear Lance Armstrong
Hi, Lance, It's me Lou. You get paid to ride your bike and you love riding your bike. So, I just wanted to tell you that you shouldn't retire, ever. As long as you like riding your bike and you can keep up with the peloton, keep going. With your training, natural talents, and tactical instincts, you could race at the professional level for another 10 years. Anybody who thinks you should get out of the peloton because you can't win is a moron
(I'm looking at you Darren Rovell). The only thing I agree with from Darren's article is that you have a target on your back for any disgruntled French Lab technician. There were 156 riders that made it to Paris, would Darren advise 153 of them to retire because they can't win?
Now, I know during this tour you felt like you couldn't keep up with the young whippersnappers, but YOU RETIRED. YOU WERE OFF THE BIKE FOR YEARS. It's going to take some time to get the snap back in your legs and once you do, you are going to be dominant again. Good luck on Team Radio Snack.
Sincerely,
Lou Lamoureux
P.S. I'm riding in the 24 Hours Of Booty, an official ride of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
