Amazon.com Review:
'Periodization,' nutrition, stretching, peaking--who knew that so much went into riding a bike? Joe Friel's The Cyclist's Training Bible is jam-packed with information, easily the most authoritative book on cycling to date. Friel, a lauded coach and masters athlete from Colorado, adopts the principles of Dr. Tudor Bompa, whose periodization training methods were used first by the dominant Eastern European athletes of the 1960s before becoming popular in the United States.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Serious training for serious cyclist
Very good book but it is not for everybody. It gives you a lot of details with a scientific approach.
This book assumes that that will be doing your homework keeping track of several statistics and metrics. It can get a little bit tricky so you need to be patient.
Rating: - This is now my bible
The author suggests that the target audience of this book is more focused on people with a few years of racing experience, however, as a first year racer, I've found the book to be one that I cannot do without. I consult the book each week when planning my weekly rides, and I look forward to revisiting several parts of the book again once I hit the off season and need to come up with an overall plan to move ahead in racing next year.
Rating: - Joe Friel's cyclists training bible
A great book with all the necessary information to turn you into your own coach.
Rating: - Good Book
This book is great. If you're looking to get in to racing, this is the one you want.
Rating:  - Seems great so far
I haven't read the whole book yet thus 4 out of 5 stars.
Right from the beginning you can see that the book was written scientifically by a person who knows what is he talking about.
You have to be aware that the book is written for the experienced cyclists or a very committed beginner.
A vary good book and a training tool/guide/planner. I recommend it!
