Lance Armstrong visits Piermont for coffee

November

Journal News photographer Seth Harrison loves his coffee and when he’s near Piermont he drops in on friends at the Bunbury’s Coffee shop. The owner, Tom Bartz stopped Seth to point out that the guy in black Lycra sitting outside having coffee is Lance Armstrong.

Seth knew he had to get some photos and talk with Lance. He knew he’d be in trouble with the boss if he didn’t!

Lance was in New York City for a LiveStrong fundraiser at Sotheby’s where a number of his custom bikes with designs created by famous artists were auctioned off last night.Some of the bikes were ridden in this year’s Tour de France.

According to CyclingNews.com 1.25 million was raised to fight cancer. Click here for their story.

To bad he missed the Rocket Ride yesterday.

Lance finished his coffee and cinnamon scone before he and his friend Bart Knaggs headed back down Peirmont Aveune to the city.

Did any readers spot him this morning on your training rides? Let us know.

Does Lance get tickets for taking up too much road in Piermont? How about a painted bike lane on the 25 mph roads…
