Okay, so the title of this blog may be a slight exaggeration because in reality, I don’t know Lance Armstrong personally (although my brother, who is a semi-professional cyclist, wishes I did). However, given the video he posted Tuesday, I’m guessing that he’s a true fan – at least of the Big Island’s Kohala Coast: Lance Armstrong rides the Kohala Coast
This isn’t Lance’s first visit to Hawaii’s Big Island, and hopefully it won’t be his last! Is it possible he could fall in love with a property like Pueo Place in Kohala Ranch (as did another well-known sports figure earlier this year), and become another famous owner of Big Island real estate? Or perhaps Lance is a beach kind of guy and would dig a piece of Puako real estate?
My favorite part of the clip is his Polish photographer talking about how far away from Poland is Hawaii – both in looks and feeling. Given that the temperature in Poland right now is hovering between 17-30 degrees, I can imagine how blissful it must be for him to be basking in perfect 72-degree weather with slight trade winds. Oh, and of course, don’t forget about their seeing the “whale show” on the Kohala Coast. The whales have been jumping like crazy this past week! Are they saying, “Aloha, Lance?”

One of the best outrigger canoe paddling teams in the state is Livestong there on the Big Island which supports his foundation. Some of my friends took him out for a canoe ride last year & they actually saw & got to swim with some whales.
I think I fall in the same category as your brother as being a fan of Lance Armstrong!
