John Reeser (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 15, 1999

Bicyclists are a passionate bunch. But for the average road cyclist or mountain biker, a basic training log has been hard to find -- until now. This handy log not only includes the essentials -- date, distance, time of ride, course, speed, and personal remarks -- but lots of useful and fun facts about stretching, how to fix a flat in under three minutes, which tools you shouldn't ride without, and much more. It also offers advice on training to race a century, checklists on how to dress for cycling comfort, and a calorie burn chart to help you reach your ideal cycling weight!

I've used this book for three years in a row, and I love it. It's the first thing I pick up as soon as I get done with a ride. It might not be the thing for you if you are a pro/semi-pro rider who is laying down 200 miles a week and wants something fairly technical, but for the rest of us, it is an extremely usable guide and log. The info section is good and has several good tips, but the real plus is the log section. It's especially good for those of us who do more than just bike, as it has spots for logging any cross training you might do. I love this book and will be using it again this year, and hopefully for many years to come.

This book is well written and user friendly. I attained all of the information I needed to begin my journey into the world of Mountain Biking. I have recieved useful training tips as well as some excellent references to towns and trails to try. I reccomend this book to the enthusiast who is having trouble finding where to go and what to do once you're there.
