It was early Sunday morning, when I arrived at my favorite paradise: The Motocross track. As I began to gear up, I was pondering the goals I would exceed.

Lance Armstrong is known as a competitive bike racer who has accomplished a great deal throughout his life including seven tour de France victories and surviving deadly cancer. His life includes many ups and downs and is full of successes and failures. Even though Lance Armstrong battled with cancer he was still able to fight and accomplish his goals. Lance Armstrong’s call to adventure started when Lance received his first bike realizing that biking was going to be something that would ultimately change his life. He said, “When the other kids were swimming at the country club, I was biking for miles after school, because it was my chance” (Armstrong 26).
He had one of the most grueling stages on a lockdown when he noticed a heroic effort put in by one of his rival cyclers. Then out of his fairness and respect for the game he allowed the racer by the name of Marco Pantani to take the win as a sign of support for Pantani's comeback. Another epic part of Lance’s career was when he had fallen during a stage in the tour and still had the determination to get up and win the event. The scene was set in Luz Ardiden, a mountain in the Pyrenees range, where a spectator had caught their bag onto Lance’s right handlebar, causing him to crash; not only resulting in a cut elbow and forearm, but also doing severe damage to his bike. Armstrong then went on to ride a broken bike past all other racers and win the stage.
