Carbonfiberboy,

Friel's The Cyclist's Training Bible, Is this good for me? One of the reviewers on Amazon says, I expected a training book to get me from a beginner to a good cyclist. This book is to take you from a good cyclist to a racer. This should have racing in the title. The book is useless for beginners who just want to complete a century while working and having a family, in other words real people. Thoughts?


Cycling Past 50, I think this might be the best place for me to start. My only doubt is the one person on amazon who says it didn't help him get back in shape.


Brzycki's A Practical Approach to Strength Training, how does this compare to Starting Strength, 3rd edition by Mark Rippetoe and/or Weight Training for Cyclists: A Total Body Program for Power & Endurance


Sally Edwards has a number of books on training with a heart rate monitor: Any recomendation as where to begin on this? I don't normally watch my speed I watch my heartrate, so this seems like a logical starting place.


I am also looking for a glosssery of useful cycling, getting fit terms.
