I'm training with Olympic cyclist David Brinton. You can read more about David here. I've been training with him for nearly two years and he's a great coach. I've had some ups and downs due to illness and annoying distractions like work, but he's always helped me bounce back into form.

A note from David:

First of all, I have great admiration for Ryan for taking on this amazing challenge. His devotion to training began nearly six months ago and now he is left with only three months to prepare. As Ryan's coach, I can say that preparing for Stage 14 will be a huge challenge for both of us. Even with all the training he has already done and the additional training he will do in the remaining months, this will be the greatest physical challenge of his life.
