ENHANCED 9th EDITION!
ACE Training for
Cyclists
By Arnie Baker, M.D.
|
This
eBook is about Altitude/Climbing/Endurance
training. It emphasizes preparation for hilly centuries and events beyond
100 miles with more than 10,000 feet of climbing. In addition to general
training and knowledge, ACE riders need to be specialists in climbing,
descending and endurance. Motivation, focus, breathing techniques and
pacing are especially important. And coping with altitude’s effects is
crucial. Riding 100 or more miles in one day with two miles of climbing is
not for everyone. But if it's for you, ACE
Training for Cyclists will make the going easier and
faster. This eBook has 126 pages with 33 illustrations.

road cycling and write about them with insight, opinion and humor.

hit in his bike club newsletter. Now 77 of them have been
distilled into
The Adventures of Axel Kleat, a 144-page eBook. Be ready to
laugh, cry, marvel at outlandish opinions and learn a thing or two about road
cycling.

Cycling Science
A CD Containing all
23 Issues of this
Technical Journal for Bicycling Enthusiasts
 Cycling Science was
a highly regarded magazine published in California from late 1989 to mid 1997. It was
the creation of Chester Kyle, Ph.D. and Ed Burke, Ph.D. -- two
Americans recognized as world leaders in cycling technology and physiology. This
compact disc contains every page of all 23 issues, scanned in color with covers,
photos, diagrams, charts and other graphics intact. Even advertisements are included,
providing an interesting window into what was important in the 1990s.
Read in today's light, the evolving technologies and predictions of
cycling's future are fascinating and even entertaining. It's also impressive to
see how much has proved to be dead-on accurate and as relevant today as it was
10 or 15 years ago.
This important collection is offered as a CD instead
of an eBook because of the size of each Cycling Science
issue -- around 24MB. All 23 issues containing 102 articles cost just
$23.95 with no additional charge for shipping & handling. The original
subscription price for the complete set of magazines would have exceeded $150.

Keep it Real - In Your Indoor Cycling Classes
By
Jennifer Sage
 This eBook is devoted to showing roadies how
they can use indoor cycling classes such as Spinning® to improve

with this knowledge and Jennifer's expert training advice, you can "Keep it
Real" indoors so the benefits will be as real
as possible outdoors. The eBook contains 177 pages with 18 photos.
