Maillotpois- I crewed for Baldino last year, so I can also give you feedback from that perspective if you are interested.
Probably Baldino has already told you- the hill climber of the team should be the one to do Towne's pass. It aint pretty since it's long and steep. (I just did both ways in a car this past weekend and it was interesting to look at the grade from a cyclist's point of view).
Anyway, feel free to contact me if you want a woman's perspective!
