"If you never confront climbs, you’re missing the essence of the sport. With ascents comes adversity. Without adversity there’s no challenge. Without challenge, no improvement, no sense of accomplishment, no deep-down joy.”
- Betsy King, U.S. road racer and cycling coach; 5-time women’s Tour de France rider (winner of 2 stages and climber’s jerseys); multi-time national champion and World Cup winner.Posted by dancoy at May 25, 2005 10:13 AM
