Mountain biking presents unique challenges, and noted expert Joe Friel addresses them all in his latest book. Covering every aspect of training, he helps riders maximize their experience and minimize problems.
Great Planning Tool 4 out of 5
Friel does a great job of going through the stages of planning a year of meaningful training. I think the book is written in realistic terms, and with a few days of earnest study, is helpful to any aspiring biker that wants to up his/her biking game. I am hoping to race in the Leadville race coming up here in Colorado in July; Friel's planning, I feel two months into it, is at least giving me some purposeful and consistent workouts. Easy to read, and with charts etc... included. The book allows the reader to create their own personal workout plan that can be easily scheduled around irritating things like work. If you are willing to 1. read the book and do the research, 2. follow through with the 'best laid plans', I think this book is a good source.
Very good book 5 out of 5
I I've not read yet all the book, but until now it is one of the best books that I read about trainning.

Mountain Biker's Training Bible, a great book the for hardcore mountain bike racer. 5 out of 5
After reading this book I will have a much more planned and refined approach to my training. This book helps give meaning to every step in the training process. Specifically geared toward mountain biking as well.
Too hardcore for recreational riders! 1 out of 5
Thorough book but only for those that are interested in racing. This book is way too in-depth and is not user friendly for those of us who want to get better and use a training schedule but do not race. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is not interested in racing and becoming a professional rider.
