That book sounds good. I'll have to check into it - Thanks for the recommendation. My husband's birthday is coming up in a few weeks - Hmm - He wants to do a century sometime. He'll need some training references. I might try that.

I appreciate all the feedback everyone's been giving. One of the real pluses of the cycling community is it's not nothing but hardcore, high-performance athletes. It's active people of all kinds and at least if he's involved in something like this, all the better chance of coming across someone he can relate to - and listen to.
