Dude! 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!

Ted – just read the Velo News piece on you, good to know that Massachusetts & Connecticutt aren’t the only New England states with pro-riders. 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.

Ted, falling down is the pits. 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.

Hey Ted-

really like the blog, etc.. sorry about the crash but sounds like you are healing up. I’m based in NH as well so maybe we can throw on the Panther kits and go for a spin sometime…I wore the full kit at reunion…big hit.

good luck

Hi Teddy;
My wife Stefanie Diamond used to be a PA in your dad’s practice and I have been an admirer of both your dad and mom for many years. 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.

Teddy — Finally I’m tuning in and checking up on your blog. So sorry about your arm. Are your still in New Hampshire? How did you fare in yesterday’s snow storm?
love and keep on keeping on,
Betsy

Hello Ted,
Well done on the TOC, Hope the season ahead is safe and full of glory.

Kirsten Wild of the Cervélo Pro Cycling Test Team is the most recent rider to affiliate with Bike Pure, a non-profit organisation dedicated to “a new era of clean cycling.”

“For cycling it is good that there is an organisation like Bike Pure, so everybody knows that we are clean riders,” Wild told Cyclingnews. ” I think this is an important step in the fight against doping.”

Team manager Thomas Campana said that affiliating with the group was the riders’ personal choice and added that it is a “super initiative”. Wild, 26, won the first-ever Ladies’ Tour of Qatar earlier this month, with top four finishes in all three stages.

Bike Pure, is a global independent non-profit organisation “committed to redirecting trust to professional cycle sport.” It offers light blue wrist bands and headset spacers bearing its message.

Only Mission: To protect the future of professional cycle sport, using only positive methods.

Ted, sorry to hear about your broken tuberosity. If possible, be glad you broke it doing something semi-heroic. I once cracked a tuberosity but the way I did it was dumb. Think roller blade ballet.

I have some Norwegian language CD’s somewhere. If I think of it, I’ll send you some files and you can suprise Thor when you see him with some Norwegian: “Please pass the meatballs, Thor, they’re better than your mother’s”

Dude, that sucks. I was wondering why I wasn’t seeing you in any coverage. I had chalked it up to Versus’ poor editing (I didn’t even get to see Thor win as Vs. cut Stage 3 just short of the end and went to a hockey game), but now it makes sense.

Here’s to a quick and complete recovery!
