Ted,

Why does the altitude profile for the LT test look like Bart Simpsons head?

As a New Englander trying to harden myself up using the TUSB-concept (or TUSG as the case may be) as a mantra, what is this about foolishness?

Nevertheless, glad to hear the knee is on the mend.

Apropos the nerd moment, buy yourself a present for getting back up to snuff.

(As an added bonus, it is in pseudo-liquigas colors so the team might not mind either).

Looking forward to watching you in some upcoming races… when will be the first, any idea?

Just a mild test at 430 watts, eh? A nice reminder while 99.9% of the world cannot be a pro. Most folks I do Computrainer rides with are in the 230-250 range. Thanks for sharing!

Great news to heat that you had no knee pain while climbing! Can’t wait for you to get back in action. Keep up the good work.

Tab, I’ve seen a whole variety of inner arm tattoos and the only thing they indicate to me is OOOOOUCH. I’ve been Roman numerals and Latin and Asian and Russian and Sanskrit and everything else. I’ve actually seen fewer Roman numerals than most, so I don’t even bother asking what it means.

Inner arm tattoos: KoS stands in limbo. Slightly cool, horrendously painful, slightly uncool. You can’t wash those off when your career is over as it turns out…

Becky, KoS definitely approves. They will get dirty inevitably, but there are some pretty awesomely caustic cleaners that make even the darkest shades of dirty gray, well… less dark. Remember: filthy white shoes are always cooler than the coolest black shoes.

And since I’m in a replying mood, Rich, thank you very much for the support!

Glad your knee is coming along. That ride today seemed like a
pretty good test. If there was still some pain hiding down
inside, it would have showed up on that route!

I’ve got a question no one has been able to answer, but nooow that your riding on an Italian team maybe you could shed some light on this. What does the inner arm tatoo with the Roman numerals signify?
I’ve only noticed it on a few of the Italian riders.

I think this still qualifies as a KOS issue!!!
