The author has provided just about everything you could want to know about racing in a gravel grinder. The book includes information about what type of things to look out for when purchasing a bike, gear, etc. There is Information on nutrition and hydration. She includes tips to aid and gotchas to watch out for. The book includes a training plan to help the reader to prepare for a race. Though loaded with valuable information, the book is easy to read with a pleasant tone. Now, I just wish she had training plans on TrainingPeaks to cover different scenarios. Review: Great book! - I'm a long time road rider who go into gravel a few years ago. I had been reading magazines on gravel riding for years but felt I still had much to learn. After struggling with a few smaller gravel events, I found the idea of doing something like Dirty Kanza terrifying. This book really lays everything out about gravel riding. The chapters on gravel riding technique and nutrition were particularly informative. I realized that my past struggles in gravel events had more to do with gear issues, single track technique and problems with nutrition than my physical fitness. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to ride gravel in any form. ## Features - This 192-page book details everything you need: special cycling equipment, a different kind of fitness, fueling, finesse, gear, and grit to handle gravel. - Written by Bicycling's Fit Chick, Selene Yeager, who is a gravel-loving NASM-certified personal trainer. - Inside you'll also find the types of terrain you'll likely encounter, and how to ride each one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1950099032 | | Best Sellers Rank | #194,992 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #4,749 in Planners (Office Products) | | Brand | Hearst | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (103) | | Date First Available | September 27, 2019 | | Item Weight | 14.1 ounces | | Manufacturer | Hearst | | Product Dimensions | 9.09 x 6.42 x 0.55 inches | ## Images ![Gravel: The Ultimate Guide to the Gear, Training, and Grit You Need to Crush It - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HtDdnpgiL.jpg) ![Gravel: The Ultimate Guide to the Gear, Training, and Grit You Need to Crush It - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gqINIHhVL.jpg) ![Gravel: The Ultimate Guide to the Gear, Training, and Grit You Need to Crush It - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rKJHgcEQL.jpg) ![Gravel: The Ultimate Guide to the Gear, Training, and Grit You Need to Crush It - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WUB-Zh9FL.jpg) ![Gravel: The Ultimate Guide to the Gear, Training, and Grit You Need to Crush It - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PT+NzN1LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gravel is an amazingly great book packed with information that has been exceedingly helpful to me. *by M***L on September 8, 2021* Gravel is an amazingly great book packed with information that has been exceedingly helpful to me.
