Hi Mel. Great job at Keystone.

I attended the bike clinic on Saturday and met you afterward. I asked you a
question concerning the Hypoxico tent you use. I had some follow up questions
but I did not want to take away time from others who were waiting to ask
questions.

You said you felt like the Hypoxico system helped you for races at lower
altitudes but not so much at high elevations. Have you noticed any benefits at
elevation at all?

The scientific research I have read argues both sides. I would like to know
your opinion. I am considering using the system but I don't want to spend the
money if there are no real benefits. I train at an elevation of 3500 feet and
races like Keystone kick my butt. I have very little time to acclimitize but I
would really like to see my times improve. In your opinion, would the system
benfit me at altitude in any way?

By the way, your comments regarding Dual suspension vs. Hardtails were right on
the mark. I am a hardtail rider and a weight freak when it comes to the bike.

See you in Tahoe.

Good luck with the rest of your season.
