He Who Must Be Named

Finally I can talk about Lance Armstrong.

Don’t you just love it?

The former Triple-Crown winner & World Champion, cancer survivor and winner of seven consecutive Tours of France.  For me, he’s the boss of cycling.  He’s explaining cycling to millions like I never did.  My dearly beloved mother died of multiple cancers, so I know what it means to Livestrong on my bike.  Now Lance has made his second comeback, and as long as he’s in the race, there’s more explaining to come.

QUESTION 1.   The title of his first book is “It’s Not About The Bike.”

If that’s his answer to a question, what is the title of my favorite Irish bike novel?

QUESTION 2.  If Lance were to win this year’s 2009 Tour de France, would it be his 8th consecutive victory?

QUESTION 3.  Lance has a lot of cool nicknames, maybe he’s the most nicknamed athlete in sports.

Here’s the top ten Lance nicknames.  Which one of these did I make up?

  1. The Boss
  2. Mellow Johnny
  3. Pharmstrong
  4. Big Tex
  5. LA
  6. HWMNBN  “He Who Must Not Be Named”
  7. Spike Legsworth
  8. Fed Ex
  9. Cancer
  10. HRH

BONUS QUESTIONS:

a)  What is the greatest obstacle Lance Armstrong has overcome to get to where he is today?

b)  Where is he today?
