"""This time the dean of human performance takes on the metamorphosis of aging along with the associated roller coaster ride of ills and thrills. Joe Friel's journey into aging explores the gamut of changes that affect us as cyclists. For some, Cycling Past 50 confirms the infinity of human physical potential. On a broader scale, it is our complete reference guide for personal exploration."""

"""One of America's best cycling coaches shares his wisdom in a comprehensive book directed to the over 50-year-old. Senior riders will appreciate Joe devoting an entire book to them. Younger riders must read this book too-there's so much good information for riders of any age."""

4.0 out of 5 stars
You don't need to be fifty to enjoy this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cycling Past 50 (Paperback)
While this book contains virtually the same information that is in Friel's The Cyclist's Training Bible, the focus on the older athelete makes the information more accessable and practical. Good reviews of current knowledge of cycling physiology, nutrition, and various training strategies for different types of cycling goals. Very good discussion of self evaluation of personal cycling strengths and weaknesses, along with guidance on how to set cycling goals, and develop abilties. Neither book is aimed at the casual cyclist, but rather those who want to develop and improve their skills. Where the Training Bible seems aimed at the elite athelete, Cycling Past Fifty provides reduced intensity trainig suggestions, and has more discusion on potential limitations, nad training problems. I highly recommend both books. Only four stars because of the poor title, and the level of repetition from The Cyclist's Training Bible.

Cycling Past 50,
By
This review is from: Cycling Past 50 (Paperback)
This is a superb book for cyclists over 50 and want to enjoy cycling with out doing something that could injure. I found the chapters well laid out and easy to read and assimilate, I am, over 50 lol, I have read it through several times and then can go back easily and refer if I am concerned about something. I recommend it to all over 50 cyclists whether you are a lifelong cyclist or just want to take it up for exercise.

Cycling Past 50 - gift for a friend,
This review is from: Cycling Past 50 (Paperback)
I bought this book for a good friend who really appreciates it for the logical, common sense values expressed in the specialised arena of cycling when older in age than an enthusiastic youngster. We both subscribe to the health benefits of cycling when built-in to a normal lifestyle.
