About this episode

As so many of these side quests do, this particular adventure started with an offhand remark on the Wheel Talk Podcast…This week we dive into Abby's self-inflicted five-month journey to beat a past version of herself up Mont Ventoux. Today, she sits down with the coaching duo who helped her through it - Lizzie and Phil Deignan.We will be back next week with more from the world of women's professional cycling. A written story is coming to Escape Collective later this week.
