Hi Everyone,
I have only been riding since Jan 05 and when I walk into the bike shop and they start talking about my bike I don't understand much of what is said....should I buy "The idiot's guide to Cycling"...or would you recommend a different biking 101 book?
I just ordered the nutrition book by Nancy Clark that was discussed in the General Forum.

Also, have you been to a bike camp? Which ones did you like the best? I am hoping to find a bike camp on the East Coast since I am moving to NC in June.
Many Thanks,
Jam

Sisu is the finnish philosophy that what must be done will be done-regardless of what it takes,
a special strength and persistent determination and resolve to continue and overcome in the moment of adversity, an almost magical quality, a combination of stamina, perseverance, courage, and determination held in reserve for hard times.

Jam,
There are some books out there I haven't found any that beat this forum, I've learned so much from the gals here. I've mentioned to TE admin that (with permission to quote the women here of course) they should put together a book of "the wit and wisdom of TE", with Spazzdog as editor of course.
I think the next great book about women cycling is right here.
As for the LBS one of the things I look for in a shop is they don't talk down to me, and they don't talk over my head either. You're not an idiot, if your shop makes you feel like one is there another shop?Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero

Thank you for the comments!
I am mainly interested in road bike camps...
but I saw those pictures of the mountain bike camps with the students going across logs....and my heart leapt.....perhaps next year I will buy a mountain bike too.Sisu is the finnish philosophy that what must be done will be done-regardless of what it takes,
