My doubt is shrinking.
I believe I read somewhere in the past week poking through Ryan's site and background, that he played college football, so I think even though the muscular demands are different, the discipline of college football is paying off for Ryan and part of what is making this work for a relatively inexperienced cyclist.
Ride Ryan, Ride!!!
I am happy to see that more and more folks are giving him some credit. Folks with the gumption to pull this off given the shaky start he had are rare. Young men who listen to advice and learn from it without abandoning their goals are also rare.
Personally I think these have been among the most interesting threads in as long as I can remember.
