road trip
// May 6th, 2009 // Uncategorized
Dear iamtedking readers,
I’m currently on another road trip of sorts. As I write this I’m en route from my home in Switzy to Venice, Italy for the 100th edition of the Giro d’Italia. Emotions are running high for a variety of reasons, most notably, the historic nature of such a spectacular race. Not to mention the extraordinary nervousness, anxiety, and excitement (!) cruising through my nerves right now. It should go without saying that I offer a special THANK YOU very very much to everyone who has sent along emails, texts, messages of all types (twitterers, facebook, etc) wishing me good luck in my first grand your.
In order to keep tabs on my I invite you to VeloNews.com where I’ll be writing an online column every two or three days about it all – the race, the preparation, the tifosi, the team, the insanity, and so forth.
Bu’bye now,
TK
