I just wanna ride too! I joined a small race team for the first time, a training ride In Helen Ga. & Brasstown Bald next week and a small race schedule, and just found out my hip resurface device (like Landis') came loose months ago and chewed a big portion of my pelvis away. Big surgery Mar 30th, no bike til probably July. I wanna jump off Brasstown, head first. Godspeed to you! Dude! I just wanna ride too!

At least the weather is starting to pick up around here (50s this weekend -allegedly). Anyway, you've got one more fan from NH now.

I did so on Obama day and broke my clavical. I hate it for you that its 6 - 8 weeks but glad to hear someone is being honest and smart. Good call. The trainer really sucks and even though I don't ride for a living, I understand that basic fact! I'm at 6 weeks now and only have a few more weeks before I'm back on the road. Oh, by the way, it's sunny in So Cal now! Best of luck to you. Ted, falling down is the pits. I did so on Obama day and broke my clavical.

We continue to bump into each other at Christmas parties and I make sure to tell your dad especially, how much I think of him, both as a former employer of my wife and as a human being in general. I went to see him in rehab shortly after his stroke and witnessed how hard it was for both him and Margie so I am all the more grateful to see him doing so relatively well. He has not lost a step with his biting wit and humor. If anything it has gotten even more biting and sharp. I am an amateur and addicted cyclist who at 56 pushing 57 ride 20 - 30 a day, so I can in a small way greatly appreciate the extraordinary effort required to be at the level you are. I think that pro cyclists are THE greatest athletes in the world hands down. I hope that your recovery goes well and I wish you all the best in your efforts with Cervelo. You have worked hard and must be proud to be with such an outstanding group of pro athletes. After the TOC in 2008, had you not gotten injured I was thinking that you would do really well in this years race. How unfortunate. Now you will have to show them what they missed by doing so in the Giro or TDF. I truly believe that you will. Be well. Hi Teddy;
