I've learned a lot from several people who should know in this field over the past four years since I started riding. From time to time I mention advice from a "pro" that I remembered from my Tour de Phil experience in Gerona, Spain last March.

Here is who I am talking about.
Man, she was great. And you talk about a rider...crap this girl can climb. I have the utmost respect for her. I hope to hook up with her in Spain again next year.
