Hi Bill, I definately can't speak for the guys, and gals, who race for a living but I'd be glad to
give you info about myself and the cyclists I know. I am 35 and live in Florida. I commute to and
from work daily with the exception of extreme weather. Rain and wind are not a big problem but
lightning bothers me. If lightning's flying I'll wait or call a friend. I also try to catch at least
one club ride a week. All total I rack up between 100 to 120 mile per week. Does that qualify me as
a serious rider? Sports medicine consists of asprin, alcohol, and on rare occasions a trip to the
Emergency Room. Psycology - most non-cyclist think we're crazy for doing what we do. They're
probably right. Training - no true schedule, whenever I've got time. Lifestyle - most of us are
single or have a very understanding spouse. If you're really lucky, your significant other is as
obsessed about riding as you are. Cycling starts out innocently enough for most people but when
you've progressed to the point of shaving your legs, wearing spandex, and spending way too much
money on bikes and gear, it's an all-out obsession. We all need at least one, right? That kind of
leads into equipment, which is whatever we can afford at the time. I hope this has helped. Take care
and good luck on your book. Bubba

You're an editor and yet you can't write a proper sentence on Usenet?

An interesting book on golf, with references to other sports is newly on the market. It's called "On
the sweet spot" (www.onthesweetspot.com). They author is a sport psychologist at Duke and consults
with many sports athletes. Excellent information that deals with physical nature of getting "in the
zone". Excellent read.
