It was my last ride in Munich today, so I thought I’d take some pictures to remember the ride… ha, and have a little fun.
So here is a picture of me before leaving to ride. It’s kinda blurry, hehe, I had to take it myself since my professional photographer who usually follows me wherever I go and takes photos for me to document my life had the unusual day off.
I took the S5 train from Marienplatz out to Gilching-Argelsried and hopped on my bike and off I went. Here are some sites along the way:
I have many more pictures from the ride that you can view here.
Of course before I went for my ride, I got a cappuccino in the Marienplatz Station. Bought my bike ticket at the machine, and then went down and waited for my train.
Today when I was buying my cappuccino a guy yelled out “Hey, it’s Lance Armstrong!” as I walked by. I guess I’ll take that as a compliment… I looked at him and laughed and said, “no… not Lance”, and he said, “oh, She is American too”… I just said, “yes, I’m an American…” I’m pretty sure that he had a few too many beirs for that time of day, but oh well. I’ll still take it as a compliment to be called Lance. Maybe that means I look fast, and we all know over half of bike racing is about how you look- ya know, what kind of high end bike you have, what snazzy clothes you wear, and what hot sunglasses you can find (that borderline on looking absolutely rediculous, but of course they are cool because you are wearing them and no one else. primo example of this type of sunglasses– the “George Hincapie“– they look good on everyone I have seen who wears them, but I think they look absolutely rediculous on me).
The one thing I’ll miss the most about riding in Munich is definitely the coffee stop right before I leave to ride. That never gets old, and it’s especially nice when it’s cold out (which seemed to happen a lot when I was riding here!).
Now it is time to say goodbye to Munich and hello to North Carolina. I am happy to be moving back home!
