The Rider
The Rider by Tim Krabbe is an effin amazing book. For those of you with an inkling of interest in road racing, I highly recommend it. That is all.

+1 to The Rider... I stayed up way to late on a business trip to finish that book in two sittings, great read. I'm forcing myself to wait till my next big trip on October so I can read the sequel on the way across the country.

I don't believe there's a sequel. It's a great book though. Many passages are quite quotable and memorable. Not to mention inspiring.

I've been reading "Flying Scotsman," which is Grame Obree's auto biography about building his bike and setting the Hour record. He's totally manic, its an interesting read.
