Marcus Lemond Armstrong

Marcus used to have dreams of being a bike tour rider. He's German-born and spent much of his youth training on his bike on the roads of Europe. When his step-dad was transferred back to the states and his beloved Peugeot road bike was stolen, he gave up that dream, but not his love of cycling. Every July, Le Tour de France awakens that cycling fever and yearning inside of him, especially since the winners the last few years have been Americans. Today, he broke down and bought himself a Team Discovery Trek road bike form Bicycle Village. Due to some unfortunate mechanical problems that kept Mike and him from mountain biking today, they decided instead to break in Marcus' new road bike.



They want to do a ride from Aurora to Kansas and back. I've offered to drive behind and be their "team car". I think they're planning this for next summer.
