French Revolutions

Viac o knihe

The ultimate amateur attempts to cycle the Tour de France route. “Put me back on my bike.” As last words go, these are unlikely to pass Tim Moore’s lips. The author attempts to cycle all 3,630 km of the 2000 Tour de France route just before the professionals do. His is an epic depiction of an inadequate man’s attempt to achieve the unachievable, a tale of calorific excess, ludicrous clothing and intimate discomfort.
