Someone asked about a book or something...

I have two of Ed Pavelka's books (one of them is Long Distance Cycling) and I think they are very good introductions to ALL aspects of training for centuries and more. I read a lot of it in the early Spring, and reread parts over breakfast once in a while because there are things I didn't notice then that I now know to be important.

And Bicycling's last issues had a "my first century" story. But just reading this board will be A LOT of help. (But I have a hard time fitting my laptop on the kitchen table and not getting peanut butter on the keyboard so I have to find a way to get cycling information printed on paper while eating... !)
