A good read by a guy who moved to Belgium right after high school in 1986 to basically become a professional cyclist in Europe. A really good read about how he did it and the strange people and races he met along the way. This is around the Greg Lemond time and before Lance Armstrong was even on the scene. Talks about the drugs that were taken by basically everyone then and the different levels on the pro circuit. Just a really good and interesting read. I rarely bike--maybe once or twice a year I get out my now probably 20+ year old Walmart special bike--but even so this was a fun read.
I have posted it on PBS and is the only copy in system so hopefully will move a some point.
