On the Bench...?

I emailed Penny at the Fireflies and got a fairly cool response, mostly about corporate sponsorship (the majority of the riders are from the film and advertising business, and their companies will be backing them and the ride). However, I replied with a few more personal details and got an email today saying that they've put me on the reserve list. I don't know how long the list is, or whether it's first come, first served, but we'll see. I've stepped up training on the 20+ year old LeMond, anyway....

My beloved steel Lemond, frame built by Billato in Italy around 1989.
Greg Lemond is of course now the only American winner of the Tour de France.
