Rating: Summary: muddy-fun Review: Easy to read and then go out and test some of the new techniques. A great book for beginning cyclo-crossers!
Rating: Summary: The Bible for Cyclocross Review: In short I found this book to be very helpful. It discusses the sport in good detail, provides information on how to train for the specialties of the sport and provides good suggestions on how to train for the season. If you have questions this will provide the answers you need. This book is a must buy for anyone new to the sport or looking to learn more. It's the next best thing to your local Cyclocross training events. The only cons to the book have been mentioned in other reviews. It probably could use a 3rd edition that would contain some newer pictures and some historical updating. However, the base information hasn't changed and is very usefull. When I started racing Cyclocross last year I looked in many areas for information on how to train, what to buy, and just general information. I found this book about half way through the season. After reading it I began to use some of the training tips and schedules. I believe it was one of a few reason why my season continued to get better.
Rating: Summary: beginners only Review: More of a primer for the sport. If you've been to a cyclocross event and paid only relative attention, you already know more than this book is offering. It's getting quite dated with technology, techniques and pictures from too long ago. Another edition is badly due.
Rating: Summary: The Bible for Cyclocross Review: This book is great help to the beginner C-X'er. Unfortunately, it's already starting to get behind the technology, and could probably use a 3rd edition. More and more recent photos would have been nice.
Rating: Summary: Basic but informative Review: Yes it's outdated but it's possibly the only book on Cyclocross out there you can easily find. Definitely written for someone new to the sport. Very basic but still a good resource. The training and technique part of the book are pretty biased so don't use this a a bible for the sport. As a previous review stated it's really a primer.
