    forever reading material. It never gets old.

    II is a much tougher read. After I read a chapter I had to go back and re read it. Once your skill lever goes up and you begin to feel things and become one with the bike I could relate more to what is being discussed. It is my annual winter read.

    Ahh, but the playing field has evened out a bit, hasn't it. Although I guess we'll have to wait until you get your yellow plates for a rematch.

    Considering I haven't run an AM race yet, the answer would be zero.

    Thanks for reminding me that I loaned these out. I better check on getting them back.
    Agreed, a great read.

    That's exactly how I used TOTWII. Each season it made more sense to me as my racing experience and skills grew. I never found TOTWI as useful.

    Hmm..... maybe I should get II... not that I get to practice much technique while commuting... But I'm really good at flat-spotting my tires
