During the winter months and esp. during recovery I might try out an old fashioned book. Wondering if you might have read any of the following or could pick your favorite from the list or even add your own comment/suggestion for a bike-based read? (These 8 choices are off of Amazon) This list is about the riders

  1. Major Taylor: The Inspiring Story of a Black Cyclist and the Men Who Helped Him Achieve Worldwide Fame by Conrad Kerber
  2. Three Weeks, Eight Seconds: Greg Lemond, Laurent Fignon, and the Epic Tour de France of 1989 by Nige Tassell
  3. The Loyal Lieutenant: Leading Out Lance and Pushing Through the Pain on the Rocky Road to Paris by George Hincapie

I am just about done with a different Major Taylor book, the one by Michael Kranish. It’s fantastic and you will learn a ton about all kinds of things. Assuming you are American, you may not like all the things you learn about our country…

@trainingwheels I am currently reading Faster by Michael Hutchinson. It is a quick read and I am finding it interesting.
