Mark your calenders! Ted King, previously immortalized in crayon, has agreed to come to the Cafe (that's here!) for a live chat on Tuesday, 9 February. He will visit the site for an hour from 9.00 am to 10.00 am. 
That's Pacific Time. For other time zones, well, you can all do math way better than I can.
Ted will answer your questions about bike racing, training, food, travel, and whatever else you may have on your mind. Chris and I will be lurking about and we'll do our best to keep the conversation flowing, and if necessary, play a little red-light, green-light with the questions. We are hoping that Ted will be the first of many vict-- er, riders, to visit the site.
Want to start planning your questions? Roll by I am Ted King on the Missing Saddle and have a look around.
No need to R.S.V.P. Come as you are. See you there.. er... here!

So... You can ask him anything... Before the questions are monitored by the Communism party..

hmmm yes, it is all starting to make sense now

you actually know what Jersey Shore is, other than a locale,
well enough to quote it. For shame.

ha
and it’s not even on tv over here. but that’s from dude where’s my car, undoubtedly in the top 5 best films ever made. although i’d imagine the difference in speech between the 2 is probably negligible :)

I'll make sure to ask him hard hitting questions
like Fox News with conservatives and MSNBC with liberals…

He is King of Style.
Totally appropriate question.

You created that just to back up Albertina's suggested question now didn't you?

Thanks Gav (and Chris and especially Nikki)
You must have really impressed him or at least you didn’t scare him away. ;-) I’m looking forward to this. Any chance we’ll get a crayon original of the King holding court, you know we love visuals.
He who is, is. He who is not, seeks.
either that or Gav is very cute surfer chick. He is single after all.
OK, sorry Gavia. You certainly must have impressed him with your eloquence, intelligence and cycling knowledge. Either that or the crayons.

At his site he was considering his own coffee brand.
Maybe he can commission you to do some artwork, Crayolas are far superior to photoshop.
He who is, is. He who is not, seeks.
This site offers lattes too?! I love the PdC! ;)

Time =
EDT – Wednesday 10th Feb 4:00am – 5:00am
EST (that’s you, CycleGirl) – Wednesday 10th Feb 3:00am – 4:00am
Nope EST is noon to 1 ;)
What do you mean there is more than one? I can’t believe I can see EST and think of three different time related meanings. You know you watch too much cycling when you know not only time zones and their conversions but also factor in things like daylight savings differences and overlaps.
Personally I am shocked everyone does not have the PST to local conversion mastered from the ToC every year. It is the biggest race of the year, just ask Levi.
We would, but we're never awake at the same time ;)

I'm working on it ;-)
I usually don’t have to put much thought into CET / CEST these days… but the US thing just does my head in, I’m afraid…
That's 6 o'clock normal time.. Hmmmmm

Crap.. I'm really away..

I'll be in bed...
but as long as Frinky’s here, I’m sure nothing can go wrong.

awesome!
whoever set this up, thanks. this is (but one of) the reason(s) PdC is the greatest cycling site around.
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
you're welcome :-)
Chris and I came up with this idea a while back, and when I interviewed Ted King back in December I pitched it to him and he said yes. Yay!
Is this where we cue the countdown to Chris's behave or else post.
Just kidding!!! Although sometimes I wonder if maybe people forget that this is a very cool opportunity like the interviews and we can only hope that other pros will be looking in to see how it works out. If it looks like fun or worth their time the future could be looking really bright, where’s my shades.
He who is, is. He who is not, seeks.
Curious how it will turn out..
100 interviewers and 1 who is interviewed seems a tough job too me..
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
Not too different from a real life press conference, though
when you think about it. It’s just virtual and stuff.
Do not worry

Utterly tranquilo, our gav.

True Enough
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
"Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs."
I work waaaaay up in a high-rise building
in downtown San Francisco, which was wisely constructed on landfill, and what really worries me is Frinky Dinky going all sideways in the live chat with young Mr King.
Ooh.. Missed that! Now I want to know which team is the most expensive...
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
Any guesses? I'm thinking Cervelo..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Cerrvelo?! Naaaah..
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
because they have way to much 8-pointers..
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
THR won..
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
Eergh... this is why the Gar-men are leading. They're cheap
I don’t have anyone from THR. Is that bad?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Garmen is leading because they are American..
And well.. I have 1. Because I was a fan of him before he left to THR.. Up to you. There are some promising youngsters
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
i know...many are Australian (of the Gar-men). I think the track stuff will get in the way
but I have Bobridge. i love Renshaw, but while ever he’s Cav’s pilot fish I’m not sure I see the point. That said, my team aren’t likely to win anything but the Lanterne Rouge…
