Four female riders in the top 15. I guess it wasn't only UK that had great female riders in the 50's. BTW, anyone know if the Phinney in 4th was any relation to Davis Phinney? Father? Uncle?

I have one book that shows one of her training strategies. It involved donning a bikini, cycling shoes and riding rollers for half hour or so outside on the sidewalk behind her house.
