As the story goes, Lance Armstrong knows he's ready for the Tour when he rides the Col de la Madone in a certain time, with certain wattage numbers on the display in front of him.
In his Madone ride a few days ago, he declared himself ready to roll. For a seasoned, exacting professional, that type of analysis is necessary to properly determine form.
But you know when you're ready, don't you? It's that feeling you get when you pin on a number and pull that zipper up. When you roll to the line calm, confident and ready for whatever comes your way.
Wait ... you get that feeling right?

B: I sat in and enjoyed the ride.
C: I got hurt bad and barely hung on.
