Nike/Lance Armstrong advert

I like that advert. It's simply the joy of being on the bike. It's a "gentle"
advert. Compared to the multitudinous adverts on the box for football, where
there's always some sort of greater or lesser degree of violence in them, this
advert is classy.

I agree but what are the chances of seeing it on telly?

Read "It's not about the bike" week before last. It took me just two
nights to read. I couldn't put it down till I had literally fallen
asleep. I'd started reading it around midnight - come 3am I was still
reading, both nights, absolutely gripped by it.

I can imagine it showing in the interval of Coronation Street, in my
dreams.

I've seen the Lance/Nike (Don't just ride. Race.) hoarding up around
Southampton advertising the new Nike store in town (which doesn't sell any
cycling stuff -- ha!).

I preferred last year's Lance goes off-road advert

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I found it a nice balance between
cycling, cancer, and life - it gave me a better insight into the life of
a cyclist riding to make a living, but also brought home just how tough
it is to fight cancer, and how much it affects those around you. Parts
made me laugh, other parts made me cry (not often a book manages that
but there's a section in there that I'm rather more familiar with than
I'd otherwise like to be). Yes sometimes you think 'what, how on earth
could he say/do that' - but when you understand the background, then you
see how and why it might be.

I'll not say more than that, don't want to give too much away!

Really good on my side of the pond. I've seen it a few times now while
watching live coverage of the Giro on OLN (Outdoor Life Network - US
cable service).

Great great book - unfortunately the sequel 'Every Second Counts' isn't of
the same quality

After that read Graham Obree's book, that's a one nighter, the covers
seem to have Velcro on them and the pages turn automatically. I wept!

Book arrived on wednesday and I finished it last night, couldn't put it
down. Fantastic book, very moving. I now have a list of people that will
be borrowing it.

Thanks again for the tip :o)

You're most welcome :-) I've now got Graham Obree's book on my
wishlist, but the pennies need spending on things a little more related
to my job right now, so it might be a little while till I get hold of that.
