I recently picked up a copy of Friel's "Cycling Past 50", which is a smaller and less expensive book than his Bible. I think it's pretty good. It goes through all the training & periodization material but is targeted for a broader audience. In addition to a good section on race training it has stuff on training for centuries, hill climbing and other specialties. And since it's for older riders who aren't necessarily Lance wannabes anymore it has tips for folks with a time crunch.
