      The Long Distance
    Cyclists' Handbook 
    By Simon Doughty 
    Globe Pequot Press - 2001 
    ISBN 1-58574-526-X 
    216 pages 
    This book is similar in intent to the Burke/Pavelka
    offering. Although the version I know is revised for the US market,
    its frame of reference is distance cycling in the UK. There are
    dedicated sections on randonneur cycling and PBP, and lots of
    photos from PBP and other brevets. Like the Burke/Pavelka book
    I have no hesitation recommending this for both the beginning
    and experience ultra cyclist. There is one copy of this book
    in the Vancouver Public Library system. [Eric F. March 2006]  |
