Cycling books.

Evening all.

Picked up this book on my way home from an old lady (bless her) who was giving them away for free near to Basildon Sporting Village. Lance Armstrong caught my eye. Whole lot of Agatha and Sidney types were available but I was looking for biographies and real life stories among the 50 books that were left by the time I got to it.

Anyone has any (cycling related or in general) recommendations?

Didn’t know where to post it so….

Jenny Graham's book about her record breaking ride was a good read.

This, along with Matt Seaton's The Escape Artist.

Plus -

French Revolutions - Tim Moore

My mind's gone blank on the others, I've read that many over the years that I can't remember them, plenty of biographies to choose from, and travel ones as well.

I've now remembered a few more -

Paul Kimmage's Rough Ride

And David Walsh's hatchet jobs on Lance Armstrong are well worth a read.
