The Rider
Dutch chess champion, writer and cyclist Tim describes one bike race he competed in - The Tour de Mont Aigoual, 1977.
Great book - fabulous description of a bike race almost gear change by gear change. Life in the peloton, the psychology of a break-away, ascending, descending, and more and more pain. Although published in 1978, only translated into English in 2002.
Score: 8.5
