Mr. Slugworthe is looking for a new vivid, along with an everlasting gob stopper !!

SoCal ! Black mountain ! enduro ! sounds like a winning combination to me. I use to ride there on my GT LTS and my Level Betty, that was when you could only find a handful of people riding out there, I can not even imagine 150 people out there riding at once, that is awesome. I wish you guys the best of luck with the series.

I think we should establish parallels in the world of professional sports. One avenue could be for the naturalists or purist. The second avenue could be for enhanced athletes, whether that is steroids for strenght or epo for endurance. Then we let the public decide which athletes and sporting event are worth watching. The point is that modern culture celebrates the exceptional and ingnores the average. There is no reward for normalcy and for the majority of you, you are wonderfully normal. There are however,people of normal and natural abilities that compete in sports that are primarily dominated by gifted individuals. So it is not hard to see why lance would do what he did for success and fame. After all, Hollywood does not make movies about average joes working a 9 to 5 gig and if they did, who would go see them. I don't believe that we will ever see and end to this type of story,because as long as we reward the exceptional among us, there will alway be those willing to do anything to be exceptional.
