Saxophonist/Cyclist
Marion Meadows travels to Tour de France
On
July 10, 2003, saxophonist and bicycle racer Marion Meadows will travel to Europe
to witness American cycling champion Lance Armstrong attempt a record-tying fifth
consecutive victory.
"This
is a dream come true," says Meadows. "I have always wanted to go to
the Tour de France, and now I will get to actually ride in the Alps on the same
course as Lance and the US Postal team."
According
to Meadows, "Every January, Trek holds its annual winter training camp in
Phoenix, AZ, when Lance and the boys come out to ride and prepare for the upcoming
racing season in Europe. My team sets up the training rides for the US Postal
Service guys, and we have a great time riding together and talking shop. It'll
be great to see them again and to be in the thick of things as Lance tries to
capture his fifth Tour victory!"
Meadows
and Armstrong not only share a love for competitive cycling, but also a commitment
to practice and hard work, and a loyalty to the people that never gave up on them
or their careers.
"Over
the years, my fans have come to expect a certain type of sound from me, and I'm
always happy to keep the music centered on that spiritual center, the emotion
and energy of my playing," Meadows says.
Meadows
is taking the trip at the invitation of Trek Bicycles. Trek will provide Meadows'
team with a full riding and tour schedule for ten days and will have bikes waiting
for them when they arrive in Annecy, France. --Provided by Heads Up International
