"Periodization," nutrition, stretching, peaking--who knew that so much went into riding a bike? Joe Friel's The Cyclist's Training Bible is jam-packed with information, easily the most authoritative book on cycling to date. Friel, a lauded coach and masters athlete from Colorado, adopts the principles of Dr. Tudor Bompa, whose periodization training methods were used first by the dominant Eastern European athletes of the 1960s before becoming popular in the United States.
Product Description
The Cyclist’s Training Bible is designed to help amateurs create a training plan and refine the skills needed to succeed in the sport. Divided into five parts, the book covers commitment and common sense, general concepts, training with a purpose, designing a yearlong plan, and practical strategies for reinforcing training. Dozens of photos, charts, tables and worksheets are featured in this edition that includes 25 percent new and updated material.

 This is now my bible June 9, 2008
The author suggests that the target audience of this book is more focused on people with a few years of racing experience, however, as a first year racer, I've found the book to be one that I cannot do without. I consult the book each week when planning my weekly rides, and I look forward to revisiting several parts of the book again once I hit the off season and need to come up with an overall plan to move ahead in racing next year.

I haven't read the whole book yet thus 4 out of 5 stars.
Right from the beginning you can see that the book was written scientifically by a person who knows what is he talking about.
You have to be aware that the book is written for the experienced cyclists or a very committed beginner.
A vary good book and a training tool/guide/planner. I recommend it!
Great tool to help you establish technique and direction September 25, 2007
I have a friend that I was constantly asking cycling questions. He has been riding for 3 decades and said I'd like this book and that the information helped shape his technique and training. I read it and learned a ton. It helped me conceptualize ideas about training, ability, fitness, planning, peaking for races and nutrition.
