Smart Cycling takes fitness riders and beginning racers forward: to learn more about training and racing, strategy and tactics, motivation. More than 40 pages are devoted to my favorite “secret weapon”-- indoor training -- including minute-by-minute instructions for 21 different stationary trainer workouts. 

This book was also published in a condensed version by the United States Cycling Federation as Essentials of Bicycle Training and Racing: Training & Competition for Road Racing.

If you started out as I did -- a recreational rider with no athletic background -- you'll be amazed how specific workouts can make you a fitter cyclist. And if you already have a background in sport, you'll see how these specific cycling workouts are help make you a fitter cyclist and a better racer.
