It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I've always thought of it as "ROO-bee-oh". I don't remember having said it out loud to anyone...ever. Maybe that's a good thing!
But then again I've always thought Orbea was pronounced "OR-be-uh", but when I bought one, I heard my lbs pronounce it "or-BAY-uh."
Oh well! You learn something new, and all that...
