[GlasgowGaryH]

I have now read the book and its time I passed it onto another reader. If you would like to be the next reader of this book,just reply to this post and I will draw the lucky winner Tuesday 15th May 7pm. As always after reading the book it will be down to you to post it on which requires paying onward postage.

Typical... what chance the lottery when I don't even win in a 50/50 draw.

 

[Archie_tect]

In that case... maybe it was providence.

Enjoy the read

 

[Michaelt]

Book read, very good indeed. Book is in the post!

Having read this book, I decided that I really didn't like Armstrong...I much preferred Its All About The Bike by Robert Penn!!

What part of it made you dislike him?

 

[Archie_tect]

Me?

Thanks

I'll send it on as soon as I've received and read it ACS... please PM your address.

 

[Michaelt]

Where to start.....his assertion that life dealt him a bad hand, his intolerance of anyone who remotely did anything against him, his lack of insight and understanding of other's perspectives. Of course thats what make him a truly great champion and a once in a life time cyclist. But I look for a little more humility from my heroes......now Steve Jones, the Welsh Marathon runner of the mid-1980s, there is a real hero. I'm glad you enjoyed the book tho'.

Fair point and I agree, but by the end he did seem to have been humbled by his experiences and, although still a bit arrogant and aggressive, I thought he was a good guy.
A good book if you need a bit of inspiration to get on the bike again!
