Cycling Past 50 - book recommendation - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

Just got a look at this book at B&N and for the beginner and intermediate
rider I highly recommend. Very useful info, clear and well-documented, with
current research. Heck you can benefit even if you're in your 30s or 40s
and are ready for some technical information to help you.

One particularly infomative section gave me some answers on adaptation to
exercise, in which he discusses how increasing intensity causes a temporary
dip in performance followed by hypercompensation; for peaking he recommends
dropping frequency but keeping the intensity high, and soforth.

There's a little too much of the 'training tables' but lots of good info
suitable for the layperson, IMO, and some nice training tips for those
contemplating their first Century.
