Cycling Books - which one?

TGR · Jan 11, 2013

Afternoon all,

I am having a boring afternoon, housekeeping, child minding and nursing; i had a look on Amazon for a book to keep occupied having just read Wiggo book (which i enjoyed). I would like some advice as to which of these two books to purchase -

Book 1 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lance-Armstrong ... _sim_sg_20

OR

Book 2 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Secret-Race ... pd_sim_b_6

All advice welcome!

A more amusing and interesting book about the TdF is 'How I Won The Yellow Jumper', by Ned Boulting.

Or a really fascinating historical read would be 'In Pursuit Of Stardom' by Tony Hewson (which can be bought direct from Tony, just google his name).

Lastly, another historical perspective from inside the peleton would be 'Tomorrow, We Ride' by Jean Bobet.

There's a book review thread at the top of the page that may also provide some inspiration.

I read david millar's autobiography, and also "in search of robert millar" last year, and can recommend them both.

Are there any LA fans left? Has anyone seen the interview with Oprah yet?

I'll be reading the secret race soon... I think the oprah thing will be broadcast on the 17th? I'm in two minds whether to watch it, but probably will, if I can.

The Secret race is a must read I think !

For a completely different random read I am half way through
