The article reflects on the author's memorable experience at the Ride for the Roses in Austin, Texas, in 2003, during which they faced adverse weather conditions while waiting for celebrity cyclist Lance Armstrong. Despite the cold and rain, the author encountered fellow rider Robin Williams, who, despite being a comedian, could not find humor in the miserable weather. The ride proved difficult as many participants quit, but the author persevered, ultimately completing the 100-mile event, feeling proud of their achievement and cherishing the brief encounter with Williams.
That's when I realized who it was: Robin Williams. He was Lance Armstrong's good friend and a well-known supporter of Livestrong.
I had just made a crack to one of the funniest men in the world - and he couldn't even muster a joke because the weather was that bad.
