OT(ish): The Mount Rushmore of Sports...

[nmrt]

I am then perhaps a different generation. Armstrong inspired me to bike. In his TdF days, I would be glued to the TV. And then go out and try to bike like him. Had not heard about Lemond. But did not care enough to find out his history at that time.

Even though I do not hold Armstrong as my hero, I still cannot take away the fact that I got into biking because of him.

So, Armstrong in on Rushmore, my Rushmore.
