Ricky Rishton: "As a boy riding down dirt tracks, dazzled by a rainbow, I've ridden with a romance in my heart." "Now a five-foot-nine muscled ribbon, eyes clear and bright in this mid-morning, mingling in the acrid smell of liniments and the sweet tones of athletes glazed in sun lotions, legs bald and brown, seasoned to endure professional distances, muscles and blood tingling, I'm here to start the race I've dreamed of and trained hard for: the World Championship Road Race."Including a series of poems about cycling, conceived while out on the road putting in the miles; the mile ahead drawing on the mile after.
