      2 weeks ago, i rode the livestrong philly century in memory of my stepfather who lost his battle with cancer in december 2010.  on and off during the 7 hours and for about the last 5 miles, i was following another rider (#2222) who looked about 10-15 years younger than me at about a 13-15 mph pace up the final, thankfully gently sloping, hills.  as we pulled into the finish, the lanes split, cancer survivors to the right, everyone else to the left. he went right. awesome.
