I’ve posted a few more diaries for you to check out. “If Dense Thick Body Hair is a Gauging Factor of Manhood…..” (July, 2005), talks about my struggles with manhood, as Suzanne and I spent an afternoon trying to relax on a private Italian beach. Also, “The Life and Times of a Crappy Mechanic” (Sept. 2005) is a good one to read. Don’t you ever touch my tools…..

Marc Anderson, Evan Elken and I got a picture in the Inland Southern California newspaper. Check it out here. If you want to see that Kobe guy, scroll down a bit. He’s old news.

I managed to pick up a bit of a cold after Redlands. It’s delaying my training a bit, but it should be gone soon. Hopefully, I’ll be training again by the weekend. I’ve got my fingers crossed. Please cross yours too. Actually, why do people cross their fingers? Who started that anyways. Why not the toes too?

If you know why, post a comment and fill me in so my bulbous 7 5/8 sized head doesn’t over heat while pondering this topic. That would probably just somehow prolong my cold…..and we wouldn’t want that.

Hello All.

I’ve been working hard to post all of Austin King’s Chronicles From Across The Pond to my site. Over the past few years, I’ve written a small army of journals and stories about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as I wandered the streets of Europe racing my bike. I started writting in 2001 when I stepped off the plane and onto European soil for the first time. I wrote it, just as I saw it. Often this was a tad on the harsh side but they always turned out to be plenty funny. Just read them with an open mind. As of now, I believe I’ve only got one of the early Chronicles posted. I plan on posting the rest of them in their original, hell raising, un-edited, potty mouthed versions at some point in the future.

The later years of the Chronicles (2004, 2005), was where the real beauties stepped forth…….”The Belgian Blunder” (April, 2004), “My Letter to Mother Nature” (March, 2004) and “My Advice Helps A Young Man In Need” (July, 2005) were all front runners for a good laugh. And lets not forget the hit, “For Mature Audiences Only” (May, 2004) where I delicately describe the first (and last) time another man’s hind-end mashed itself across my forehead. Check it out for the full scoop. I enjoyed writting home and sharing a unique, light hearted and often times odd view of my new found home commonly reffered to as “Europe”.

To view the critically acclaimed Austin King’s Chronicles From Across The Pond, click on it in the “Categories” section on the left side of this page. You can also just click on the month and year under the “Archives’ section.

In the next few days when I get some time, I’ll post the rest of them. I’ll be a bit busy as my training picks up to put the final touches on my fitness heading into the Tour of Georgia. With the Jittery Joe’s team and the bulk of it’s sponsors being Georgia based, it’s quite an important week for us. As for me, I’m really excited, it should be a good ‘ol time at the bike races. I’ll keep you posted.

Cheers.

Well, it’s official. After 4 short days, the photo I posted of Suzanne and her sisters (scroll down a bit to add to the page view mayhem) has more page views than any of my other pictures….What’s the deal with that? You people would rather look at a photo of 3 attractive young ladies than pictures of me covered head-to-toe in lycra?

Man, that hurts.

Well, I can smile big too.

It only took about 30 minutes for my hinney to fall asleep. Yeah, that might be some sort of new personal record…

Show me more… »

Well…..where to start? It’s Sunday morning and the Sunset Loop stage is a few hours away. It’s quite the painful little loop. More on that later….
Nathan O’Neil smashed the TT on Friday. If the officials would have stuck with the posted 20% time cut, O’Neil would have single handedly ended the weekend for about 70 riders after a wopping 5k of racing. Thanks for coming, see you next year!

That’s tuff, T-U-F-F.

Instead, the officials raised the time cut and only got rid of something like 6 riders. 6 riders? Why 6, and not, say like 7 or 8? That didn’t do anything except add insult to injury.
We’ll talk again later. Cheers.

My dad is driving over from Phoenix this morning. I’ve been on the road for about 3 weeks now, so it will be good to see him and get caught up. Suzanne is flying into Ontario later this evening. I’m excited to see her. We’ve been apart for 3 weeks now, so it’ll be really good to see her. Last year, I raced in Belgium and we had a sweet IM, text messege and phone relationship for about 6 months. I was being sarcastic, it wasn’t sweet at all…….

These are the Mason gal’s. Suzanne’s the one in the middle with the big smile. That’s Katie on the far right, she’s taken. Jenny’s on the left, and she’s totally available. *All interested parties must submit a three page document describing why you happen to think that you’re a good catch and deserve the privilege to contact Jenny. The interested party must be a single MALE between the ages of 25 and 30, contain no traces of the “crazy bug” and have no potential, pending or prior criminal background. Please submit all information to austin@thebeanteam.com where a panel of judges will scrutinize it, get a good laugh, and most likely print it out place it in the round file.
