Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Training Bibles

Let me preface by saying that I am cross-posting this in the Mountain Biking, Road Biking, and Training and Nutrition Forums so that I can collect and assess as much info as possible.

What are the key differences between the Friel's "Road Cyclists Training Bible" and the "Mountain Bikers Training Bible"

I am primarily a mountain bike racer but rarely train on the mountain bike. Which one should I choose? My main question though it the first one asking about the differences. Thank you very much.

Sorry...I can't answer your question. Mountain bike racing has alot more anerobic stuff vs aerobie on a road bike....so if you plan to race mtn bikes... It'd probably benefit you to read the mtn biking one...
