The Best of 15 Books! 5 Stars Plus! -
I am helping my husband plan an unsupported cross country trip this summer. I have now read 15 books on Long Distance, Cross Country Cycling. This is the only book I am passing on to my husband and his cycling companion as a Must Read before the trip. He has already found, through Ed&Ed's advice: a great weight work-out, he's seen a podiatrist for cycling orthotics , and adjusted his seat because he was starting a knee injury. The information on nutrition is really helpful as my husband has trouble with blood sugar. Everything from hydration systems to leg warmers is practical, useful and ultimately helpful information. Ed&Ed give credible advise because of their vast experience with long distance cycling. If you are considering a tour of any length, this is a Must Have Book!
You'll Ride Away A Winner With This Book! -
This is one of the most COMPREHENSIVE books on long-distance cycling I've ever read and I recommend it to anyone who is going to do any amount of long distance cycling. While you can get SOME of the info off the internet, you can't get it all by far, and why would you want to try when you can get it all in this handy book? Let me tell you about some of what the book covers.
The book does a nice job of going over the most efficient positions to bike in. To me, this is the best way to avoid an injury. But if you do get an injury, the book goes over in some pretty good detail, what the most common injuries are and how to treat them (I also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if this terrible foot problem causes you cycling problems). I've read a lot about injuries from various sources and the advice is right on the money.
Biking equipment is also covered in a lot of detail, as well as the different types of bikes out there to help you sort out what you need. There's a lot of stuff out there made for cyclists and this could save a lot of people a lot of time and money.
Other interesting topics covered include what to eat (nutrition), how to train for various distance rides (the book breaks this up into up-to-100 miles rides, 100 to 200 mile rides, and 200+ mile rides), specific cycling problems males/females may have (such as prostate irritation), riding in various weather conditions, and even how to stay in shape when you can't ride in the off-season!
As you can see, its a quite thorough book and I can't recommend it enough for those who are looking for a good long-distance cycling resource.
Excellent How-To for longer rides -
This is an excellent reference for long distance riding. Following the information in this book a beginning rider can ride a century, the cyclists' marathon, with no difficulties and few surprises. A good way to start getting involved with long distance riding. Not good for those who want to do time trials or other fast racing.

Good Book for someone new to the sport. -
I bought this book when I first got into cycling about a year ago. For someone who is just starting out it is a great book because it explains a lot about the different aspects of riding such as bike fit, nutrition, etc. I am in the process of reading other books on cycling, but I would without a doubt recommend this to someone trying to learn more about the sport and how to get into better shape while on the bike.
