He's around a level 3.

Maybe a good book on strategy/traning?

I don't think a horse's ass is a donkey body part.

This is the best cycling autobiography (or any autobiography for that
matter) I've ever read:

A while ago, you could order it directly from Obree's website and get
him to autograph it for you.

I agree completely.

Now I see what a Fred is. Fred might be a Fred by some definitions,
but he is more of aspiring natural racer who has, alas, started at the
advanced age of 25. Has a Hincappe body type, you'd love to be on
Fred's wheel.

I am more of a Fred. I ride an old racing bike with conventional
pedals wearing steel toed shoes. I am springing for some expensive
winter gear but just because it's proven hard to cobble together a
good winter gear from thrift shop and Ebay stuff.

Get him the book _A_Gear_Higher by Gordon and Code. Amazing book on
bike handling, vision and mental training.

Thanks! I bought that one too. Great ideas!

Thanks. *I bought "The Rider".

I don't think this guy even uses caffeine.

Decided not to buy that one. I did not learn much about cycling from
the Armstong and Landis bios. (Learned lots about egotism from
Lance's writings, though But maybe this one is different.
