I thought about calling, but, it was a spur of the moment thing after Polly rolled to Yoga. Great fun. I even escaped from a fairly quick team down at the south end of the lake. Much to their shouted annoyance. On the topic of bike books. I've browsed though tons from the local big box stores to the small sections in bike shops. I've never found a good book on maintenance much less riding and training. Example: my descending sucks. Just totally blows. Reading about technique in "Serious Cycling" provides pap answers like: "lean into the turn," "keep your knees in," "smoothly apply the brakes." Thanks guys, I never would have guessed that. Discussion on exercises and tips for improving my speed are nonexistent. Don't even look for a good description on echelon to try and beat crosswinds.
