My girlfriend has asked for a book on mountain bike training, more fitness than skills and technique. I can find loads for road cycling, but very little specific to mountain biking. Any suggestions

Not answering your question, I recommend brian lopes + lee mccormack "mastering mountain bike skills" for technique.

I don't know anything about fitness, except that if you go riding with people fitter than you, you tend to get fitter pretty rapidly

In reply to Snax:

If Joe Friels "The Mountain Biker's Training Bible" is anything like his road training book, then it'll contain probably more than you need to know.

In reply to TimB: Thanks, think I was looking at that one last week, I have now ordered it, so will see how good it is...
