Behind the Stare seeks to convey the essence of modern professional
cyclocross-the players, the stories, the insights, the paradoxes,
the pulse. The book focuses on the European theater, but integrates
the growing American presence in international cyclocross as well.
Using the riders and their ethos as a starting point, the story
widens to encompass archetypal themes of character, ethics,
ambition, and perseverance. Rather than a "how to" (though aspects
of training and technique work themselves into the narrative), the
book chronicles what it takes to reach the top of the sport by
immersing readers in the lives of the sport's stars. By getting
inside the stories and lives of the riders (specifically Sven Nys,
Erwin Vervecken, Bart Wellens, Lars Boom, Jonathan Page, and Ryan
Trebon), the story becomes universal, archetypal, and timeless. The
objective is to bring the sport of cyclocross to the armchairs of
American readers. With Louisville hosting the world cyclocross
championships in January 2013, the timing is ripe for an insider's
look. First person, present tense, episodic, and telegraphic
narration along with strong storyline, literary allusion, and
insight hopefully result in a very good read.
