Performance Cycling
What a great and surprising book. As a cyclist I expected to enjoy reading the detail behind this iconic Irish Race but it is a lot more than that.
The book weaves in a tangential view of the social and political environment over the period as well as describing many of the characters in a very engaging way.
It wasn't a "can't put it down" book but I looked forward to the next chapter each day and was disappointed when it ended.
