You're Riding Along the Road in France . . .

Imagine the scene: You're in France to watch the Tour de France and (for fun) you're riding up one of the biggest mountains that the racers will climb during the race -- when you look up and there's Lance Armstrong coming up alongside. Armstrong was doing his normal thorough reconnaissance work, riding the mountain before the race to get familiar with it. Because he always has a car and video crew following him, he caught the surprised American cyclist on tape: (unfortunately, both videos begin playing automatically, so you'll need to stop one of them and play them separately)

(I later deleted the two videos because, annoyingly, they start playing automatically every time the blog is accessed, and slow the loading time for the blog, etc.)
