Only for the neophyte
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2009Verified Purchase
This book may be helpful if you are an absolute neophyte cyclist, otherwise I do not recommend it. I am an experienced cyclist but have not done any self contained touring. I hoped this book would provide information that would be useful in preparing for my first self contained tour. Unfortunately I already knew more than the book provided.
