I don't have the book personally, but practically all the local racers around here swear that it's the best book for race training.

I'll put in another vote for the Ultimate Ride it had a lot of really good information in it.

Put me down for the Ultimate ride. It covered a lot of topics and was easy to read.

The Cyclist's Training Bible, by Joe Friel. It gives great tips to the everyday person and sets up training schedules and gives a lot of explanation and insight into all aspects of cycling.

Also, try Ed Burke's books: "Serious Cycling" and "Hi Tech Cycling". They are a MUST for anyone who wants an analytical and completely technical education on optimal performance.
