This book is for very serious cyclists who can and will utilize the newest means of gathering workout information. I am not sure a novice would like this manual very much. It comes off as being very daunting and specific. That being said, the advanced cyclist would find many of the workouts and explanations to be very useful on helping to get that edge for competition.

Being a former serious amateur cyclist I can appreciate any book that can help push the athlete to a higher performance level. This book Cutting Edge Cycling does just that and more. This is a book designed to be studied and used. The information when applied will push the cyclist to their maximum potential. The book deals with whats important, speed, power and endurance techniques. But it also goes one step further with what's important to the elite cyclist. like: high intensity training, fatigue, overtraining, pacing, hydration, power meters and much more. A good read. Even a novice would benefit from reading this book. (

I assumed I would be in over my head when the publisher sent me a copy of this book. I have ambitions to be a cutting edge cyclist, but I'm much more of a dull edge cyclists. Most of mileage these days is sporadic bicycle commuting. The book's subtitle confirmed my assumption. I don't have the time of natural attributes to be an advanced cyclists or to engage in advanced training.

If you compete is bike races or desire to compete, then this book would be a great resource for you. It has detailed research on effective training, in different ways for different gain. Want to expand your vMax? The book has a training plan for you.

Even though I'm unlikely to engage in much of the training in Cutting Edge Cycling, it was still enjoyable to read about the latest research in cycling training techniques. Even if you spend more time on your couch than you bike (like me) there are some great ideas that will keep you reading this book. (

I'm trying to figure out the market for this book. You would have to be a cyclist with a heart beat monitor and a power meter. You would probably have a coach and be a licensed USCF rider with a category 1 or 2 rating. I am a 65 year-old recreational rider who puts in 4000 to 6000 miles a year. I am obviously not the target for this book. It is filled with charts, graphs, and acronyms. A younger more, competative rider would get more out of it. I did like the latter part of the book that dealt with position, nutrition, bike fit, and hydration. I think what I will use from this book to improve my cycling is to drink chocolate milk while stopping at convienience stores on my next century ride. (

If you're serious about cycling, this book has a lot of great detail to help you improve your performance. I've started using some of the techniques described in the book to help with the cycling component of my triathlon training. (
