WOWZA

You have just got to hand it to the author of this book he has managed to cover this topic in both illuminatory detail alongside top notch story telling. As an experienced cyclists myself I can to a degree relate to the incredible athleticism of the cyclists but the truth is that this book goes further in to the pain and anguish of the riders than you sometimes would like, but the lyrical writing and gripping nature of the storytelling pulls you out the other side exhausted and exhillerated - I almost felt as if I had cycled the 1000 miles myself!!! A great book, but don't just take my word for it YOU MUST get this book if you are vaguely interested in riding or sport in general.
