Re: Re:
Worth it if you see it discounted. Personally I enjoyed it - the mix of writing and pictures - far more than I enjoyed the Fotheringham (which somehow felt a bit flat to me, by the numbers, not really adding anything to the story).

If there is one book that should be on every serious cyclist's bookshelf... this is certainly it.

Re: Re:
Lucky for me, 2 local libraries have copies of this book. One also had the Fignon book on order and the Other Badger book is en route to another library.

Re: Re:
I'm a bit agnostic about Fotheringham as well at times. There's always parts of his books where I drift off
The best written book for me was Richard Moore's 'Etape'. The story of 20 key stages of The Tour De France through the years. And am currently enjoying David Cossins 'Monuments'. Great for people like me who know virtually nothing about the history of these races before the last 5-10 years.

Re: Re:
This is a brilliant book, one you can dip in and out of, re-read etc. Definitely required reading.

"Over the Hills" from David Lamb. Its a mid-life crisis story about riding accross the US. Good read.

Sorry to jump on the thread, but would any of you be interested in writing up a book review for Cycling World magazine? We tend to feature a book every month, so your opinions would be very much appreciated.

We've no budget for the book reviews I'm afraid, so I know its a cheeky ask, but it really was just on the off-chance that someone might be interested in seeing their reviews in a national magazine.
A few people have sent me private messages but I can't respond yet I'm afraid! Hopefully they will see this message instead!
