    4 out of 5 stars.  Great Planning Tool, March 16, 2010
    Friel does a great job of going through the stages of planning a year of meaningful training. I think the book is written in realistic terms, and with a few days of earnest study, is helpful to any aspiring biker that wants to up his/her biking game. I am hoping to race in the Leadville race coming up here in Colorado in July; Friel's planning, I feel two months into it, is at least giving me some purposeful and consistent workouts. Easy to read, and with charts etc... included. The book allows the reader to create their own personal workout plan that can be easily scheduled around irritating things like work. If you are willing to 1. read the book and do the research, 2. follow through with the 'best laid plans', I think this book is a good source.

    5 out of 5 stars.  Sound & Effective Training Plan for Competing, February 13, 2010
    If you're looking for a training regimen that is specifically designed for you with specific goals in mind, this book is for you. Friel helps you find your strengths and weaknesses as well as identifying your goals. He then guides you in making a training plan designed to keep you growing toward your goals without geting burned out or peaking too soon. It is a great guide to help you peak at just the right time to be your best for a race or other competition.

    5 out of 5 stars.  Mountain Biker's Training Bible, a great book the for hardcore mountain bike racer., November 9, 2008
    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.

    1 out of 5 stars.  Too hardcore for recreational riders!, April 6, 2008
    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.
