Just Get Me To The Church On Time!

So what else did you thing that Arlene and Paul Landis, parents of Tour de France winner Floyd Landis, did on Sunday? They rode their bikes home (nice bikes!) from church in Farmersville, Pa. As Floyd crossed the Tour de France finish line, his devout Mennonite parents were riding their own bicycles home from church. Paul and Arlene were so confident their son would win the cycling's greatest race they didn't have to choose between going to church and watching it on TV at a neighbor's house.

I actually saw these folks at one of my races in Lancaster County. Floyd's dad was the only one in the crowd wearing a Phonak hat.
