This was an amazing documentary! A mix between cycling world and a travel video. I loved all that first part learning about Ashleigh, her environment and facilities. Hank is really good at immersing himself while interviewing. Then of course the ride, especially before the climb, it's almost like a podcast but on 2 wheels instead of a comfy sofa in some studio. And the barbecue at the end of the ride was such a nice touch. Those are the kind of moments in life you just appreciate and could be translated for anyone cycling here. A good nice dinner with friends or family after a hard ride. Kudos to the whole team.

I know Hank did not go into this thinking this way, but, I learned to never underestimate women cyclist years ago riding in San Diego. One of the women in our group was amazing. Looking at her you would think she was not athletic at all. And, despite being on the larger side she crushed most guys up the climbs and I don’t ever remember her getting dropped on the flat. She had a massive engine and I can only image how good she would have been if she all she did was ride and train.
