I'm the fat man" Joao always proudly replied, embracing their confused looks with satisfaction. Everyone fears the unknown. I think I'm going to explode" He said through his hands. Lasts only ninety seconds, and the Sienese party for four days before that, so what's the big deal? We packed into the Great Wall - Hover 5.

Joao is me: An Unforgettable day
http://www.joaoisme.com/2010/06/i-had-just-gotten-back-from-four-hour_21.html
Monday, June 21, 2010. I had just gotten back from a four-hour ride where I had felt pretty good when I got the call that told me I was racing the Tour of Switzerland. To see what I mean.). It was also the last race before the Tour de France, and everybody on this team except me would be going to the Tour, so it was important. That was good, too. But the Tour of Switzerland is mountainous, and that was bad. I haven’t exactly been climbing well. I decided to consider this a test of character. 8221; I asked.

Joao is me: May 2010
http://www.joaoisme.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. Stage 4 of the Tour of California taught me something important about the difference between the other racers in the pack and me: I have to be absolutely on my A game to be part of the action; they can fake it—find a way to hang in there when they’re feeling bad. No way, man. That doesn’t make any sense: I just got a re-start. Links to this post. Monday, May 17, 2010. Tomorrow will be interesting because—I’m guessing—I’ll spend most of my time at the front co...Links to this post.

http://iamtedking.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
It's pretty much the best thing ever. Sunday, April 30, 2006. Circus Racing and An International Dinner. Far more interesting than the numbers regarding the race, the atmosphere of the thing was unreal! Every time I went under the big theater marquise at turn 1, I thought to myself,. This is an absolute circus! As opposed to the big teams who've been together since mid-February - and we haven't raced in 5 weeks, which is frustrating. so look for us to be winning everything in sight in no time! In other n...

It's pretty much the best thing ever. Tuesday, September 26, 2006. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music that he's created over the years. I don't really listen to it. But the fact that he's making it. Last week was the end of my season with the Portsmouth Criterium. Robbie and I had the hometown crowd going nuts for us, which was awesome. Therefore, not to disappoint, I won the thing. Read about it here. Posted by iamTedKing at 7:43 AM. Friday, September 15, 2006. Cool picture of the tea...

iamTedKing: December 2006
http://iamtedking.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
It's pretty much the best thing ever. Monday, December 11, 2006. The following is a paid advertisement for the " Toughen Up Sissy Boy. Are you tired of coming home after long rides knowing that you’ll still have feeling in your toes? Are you annoyed that you don’t run the risk of hypothermia on your training rides because the weather is too boringly nice? Don’t you hate not getting sprayed by the filthy, icy, slush in the road by vehicle traffic? Are you just dying to learn what the Aero Ice Faring is?

It's pretty much the best thing ever. Saturday, January 27, 2007. In lieu of the last paragraph of my last blog entry, I had to chuckle to myself on today's ride when I saw a sign here in Solvang advertising "Dental Art.". Posted by iamTedKing at 7:33 PM. Friday, January 19, 2007. I haven't updated el. It's nearly inevitable that we'll run into lots of climbing, which makes for great training. Plus, although the weather has been relatively cool, it's still totally manageable and right now we're on a ...
