Good topic TB88,
As a cyclist myself,
Lance is right up there with my heroes. He is well on his way to his 7th tour win. A very big deal as it relates to Tour history.
I would add (to only name a few)...
LINCOLN and
CHURCHILL.
I often think of my parents (although it's balanced with the many times I was put on detention

) as heroes. They moved to this country with several suitcases and a few dollars in their pockets. The classic immigrant story... they wanted a better life for all of us. I imagine having to go through that as a adult with kids.. and I look at them in a diff light.
