About the Author

Robert Panzera, MA, is a USA Cycling certified coach and NSCA certified strength and conditioning specialist. In 2009 he received his master’s degree in kinesiology with a specialization in biomechanics. Panzera is an elite cyclist in road, track, and cyclocross events and has accumulated more than 20 career wins along with numerous top 5 and top 10 placings. He is the owner and operator of Cycling Camp San Diego (CCSD), which specializes in winter training for serious road cyclists. The camp is particularly popular with performance cyclists who want to make the leap to racing. During the three- to five-day camps, participants typically ride more than 60 miles per day with total elevation gains of 4,000 to 8,000 feet. Panzera and CCSD take pride not only in physically training cyclists but also in preparing them to race via instruction in bike handling, nutrition, and cycling psychology.

“There is no greater feeling in cycling than having your meticulous preparation pay off through the accomplishment of a major goal. And if your goal is better riding or racing, then Cycling Fast is the tool you need.”

Neil Shirley -- Professional Cyclist

"Coach Panzera helps riders go faster. Quoting the wisdom of past and current cycling legends, he enlivens racing and makes it accessible to the aspiring competitor. Cycling Fast provides the foundation for a lifelong sport."

Arnie Baker, MD -- Six-Time National Champion, Eight-Time U.S. National Record Holder

“If you’re serious about improving your speed, power, and endurance, then you must read Cycling Fast. Robert Panzera has produced a well-written and informative training book that will help move your cycling to the next level.”

Shannon Sovndal, MD -- Author of Cycling Anatomy and Fitness Cycling; Team Physician, Garmin-Transitions Professional Cycling Team
