I was going to mention something along those lines. Seriously, why were you not asked to? You must have come across as untrustworthy, from a villan's point of view
Apart from teh bike shop, don't you think you got off reasonably well? Odds might have fallen antoerhway, you endebted to Lance, in a bike shop not quite what you envisioned, serving a public you'd need to lie to, the type of riders not really your types? I prepared a big business deal (business for LV, charity for me and associates) with what I though was a the Livestong charity, but lucked out, and didn't meet the deadline which triggered it all (Comeback 2.0). I got off very well not having gone past that. I visited the Clinic and after while had a huge sense of grateiful for what seemed bad luck and delays.
