In the spirit of the old threads tracking Rivendell Readers, my copy
of Just Ride was just dropped off on my doorstep.

Am going to wait on a hard copy until Grant is in Minneapolis at Hiawatha Cyclery on May 31st.  Pre-ordered the Kindle version, but that doesn't come out until next Tuesday.

I am enjoying the short mini-chapters. Perfect for quick reads between other activities. I am currently preparing for the Ride the Rockies week in early June, so Grant's words about long rides being unhealthy are striking close to home. After today's 70 mile ride with head winds and significant climbing, I agree with him!

I had no idea it was coming out on Kindle.  That is great news.

ETA for my paper-copy Amazon pre-order is Fryday. Oops, shouldn't announce that on the internets. Might attract Ninja cyclists...

Just got my paper copy from amazon.

Also, just as an FYI type of thing, it really helps the author if you enjoy something that you read if you leave a positive review on amazon.  The more of those that a book gets, the more likely someone from outside the regular sphere will buy it. 

So, if you get the book, and love it, maybe take the extra step of going to amazon and leaving a review.  I am certain that it would help.

If you aren't compelled to leave a review, that's cool too, but i just wanted to make a little mention of it, as I am certain it is not the type of thing that Grant or anyone at Riv would ever bring up, but I bet would help out.  also not the type of thing that usually occurs to me to do.

I am psyched to read it.

I just received my (first) three copies and have already given them away! I saw a guy from my LBS and told him if they ordered 10 I would buy 5. So readable, so fun.

Finished my copy in just a few hours.  Lots of stuff that I had already read, but fantastic to be able to give this as a gift to people that are just starting out with riding.  Cool to have everything in one place.

Also, I was grateful for the riding tips in the book, as I am trying to get better as a rider and am not sure where to go for info.
