I read this on vacation over the summer and really enjoyed the humor and storytelling. I need to read it again as cycling season approaches here in Illinois.

You should read the book, it's an interesting read. I'm looking into a club ride but I'm not sure I've built up a good enough fitness base yet. Timing is another factor. @Cyclingred: Thanks for stopping by. You should read the book, it's an interesting read.

But I have one comment for you regarding not having done a group ride. Find a recreational/touring club in your area. They have rides for all levels. You will find your skills improving more quickly and lots of friends interested in bicycling. 'Course you have probably heard this before. I haven't read the book.

It's a bit refreshing to see a book on cycling that takes a look at your "Average Joe." I'll have to pick it up and give it a read. Being that Magnuson was a big guy, it reminded me of an article I read in bicycling magazine that is relevant to bigger guys and cycling. Thanks to the internet it's pretty easy to share. <a href="http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,6610,s-4-403-16765-1,00.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,6610,s-4-403-1...</a> Of important note is that bigger guys might have an advantage due to greater muscle growth.
