Customer comments on this selection.
 Mountain Biker's Training Bible, a great book the for hardcore mountain bike racer.
After reading this book I will have a much more planned and refined approach to my training. This book helps give meaning to every step in the training process. Specifically geared toward mountain biking as well.
 Too hardcore for recreational riders!
Thorough book but only for those that are interested in racing. This book is way too in-depth and is not user friendly for those of us who want to get better and use a training schedule but do not race. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is not interested in racing and becoming a professional rider.
serious training for anyone wanting to become a serious rider
This is a great book on mountain biking fitness training, not a book on technique is that's what your after....i have been riding mountain bikes for 2 years now and have improved my fitness over this time[also lost 25kgs somewhere along the way!!]...After riding socially i found myself wanting to do more and so i entered a race, and have now started racing on a regular basis. I found i had hit a plateau in my fitness, and not able to pay for a full time coach[or justify the cost of one to my wife]... i figured i needed a book to gain some information.
I found this book is an alternative to anyone who can't afford a coach I have read through it twice now [the second time with a highlighter pen and sticky tabs to note important sections]...
The book offers me a clear and simple training program to adhere to...and offers valuable info relating to pre race preparation...Improving lactate thresholds was a major area i needed to work on and having riden with my new training program i find i am leaving my riding buddies behind whom would normally beat me...I find that my fitness level is improving daily and the better i feel on the bike the more fun i have...I ride around 230kms a week these days[80% on single track], and i have more energy than i have ever had before[and i am 42 yrs young heading towards 21]
To sum up, this book has taught me to become my own trainer/coach. I find myself with more energy at the times i need it[especially race times] which was always a lottery ticket before...if you are a serious mountain bike rider or a beginner wanting to become one, i suggest this book is for you[on the other hand if you are one of my competitors disregard all of the above comments]
Thanks Joe Friel
