The Cyclist's Food Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The book is comprehensive, thorough and very readable. The information is applicable to every day activities - not strictly cycling. It's worth every penny!
You've got to get this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
"The Cyclist's Food Guide" is alot easier to understand than our new food pyramid! I rode the MS Tour of Tanglewood Century last year and had a wonderful experience. True, this was not a timed event but I felt great before, during and after. Clark's knowledge helped me through that and I'm grateful.
Great book, strong themes, rational advice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is a gem! The advice is completely practical, the themes are uniform and consistent, and the results speak for themselves. There isn't any miracle here, just excellent synthesis and communication of good information. No gimmicks. No tricks. And the fact that the themes are unified helps, because I found myself reading this sporadically, so the underlying unity helped a lot. I've done three centuries since getting this book. For two of them, I was able to stick with their advice. For the third, fate conspired against me, my nutritional plan evaporated, and I bonked. I'm convinced that I would have had a much better day if I'd been able to execute my nutritional plan on the bike. In addition, recovery has been faster, and I've trimmed a couple of pounds. Highly recommended if you're looking for fundamentally sound advice about how to make cycling work even better for you.
Great book

As a coach for mulit-sport athletes, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand how to keep your body fueled for optimum performance. This book is full of great tips for choosing easy, healthful foods for before, during, and after any cycling event. It's relevance goes beyond cycling!
My husband's comment on The Cyclist's Food Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
"I find the book to be an excellent information source on nutrition and energy requirements for cycling, and wish I had it when I began biking in earnest some 15 years ago."
