I'm having the good life right now. The pain of leaving cycling paled compared to troubles at home. In 1992, LeMond fired his father, Bob, from the foundering family business, a bike company. They did not speak for four years, but have since mended their differences. LeMond learned some hard lessons from this experience and other business endeavors.
Cycling is so self-gratifying.
It's your training that makes a difference. Bob LeMond suffered a heart attack recently, but his son says he's doing well. It was difficult. But that's past. We're on great terms right now.
