    He might have a website as well.

    Steve Thordarson is the name (I might be a little off on the spelling of the last name).

    You can also find him at www.bicyclecoach.com . It is a listing of coaches in the US. Steve is in
    Illinois (you can look up by state). "Lester Long" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

    Obviously not new, but I still think "Bicycle Road Racing" by Eddie Borysewicz (Velo News,
    1985) is a pretty good all-around guide. Don't know if it's still in print, but I have a
    copy I could give you.

    I've heard that Bike Racing 101 is good. It's probably cheapest at Amazon.com:

    A good book, Eddie B trained Lemond and Hamsten who were quite good on bikes as I recall.

    Thanks Steve; as you know it's for my wife. I'd really appreciate it if we could borrow it
    for a spell.
