This is a shameless self promotion for our new book Bike Racing 101,

available in book stores, bike shops, and online now!



We've covered everything from getting started in racing to race specific

training and nutrition, along with individual and team strategy as they apply

to amateur racing. Even included are the normally unwritten rules on

etiquette in racing and in group riding. There's even a plug for OBRA at the

back of the book!



Check it out on the publisher's website: <A HREF="http://www.humankinetics.com/products/showproduct.cfm?isbn=0736044744">Human Kinetics - Bike Racing 101</A>

It's also available at Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com and at larger bike shops.

(Table of contents is listed below.)



Thanks!
