I was learning -- everything I didn't know before. Naturally, since then, i've let a fair amount of it go, as it was pretentious roadie crap, or just plain wrong. My mental encyclopedia expanded -- and still is, just more selectively -- and my focus narrowed as I learned what worked for me, what worked for others, and such-like stuff.

That's kind of where I'm at right now. I get how experienced riders/racers can be jaundiced by all the media out there, but for folks starting out, it's a fairly lucrative source of information.
I subscribe to a couple of the mags listed here--whether they survive renewal probably depends on how I'm doing with my riding as well as what I have lined up for my bed time reading.
