Les Woodland climbed aboard his old Carlton bike to take a
nostalgia trip across Belgium and Holland to visit some of
cycling's greatest riders. "Cycling Heroes: The Golden Years" tells
the story of that journey he took in the early 1990s and the time
he spent with some of the finest riders from the 1950s, '60s and
'70s. Rik van Steenbergen, Rik van Looy, Jan Janssen, Wim van Est,
Hennie Kuiper and Peter Post were some of the most colorful and
dominating riders of an era that produced many of the sport's
greatest-ever champions. In this book Woodland has collected their
and other riders' precious and fascinating recollections, some
going back to a time of leather saddles, cloth caps and spare tires
wrapped over riders' shoulders; when screaming fans packed
smoke-filled velodromes to see their heroes up close; when a stage
of the Tour de France could take more than eleven hours. Woodland
has filled in his portrait of racing's golden years with the
stories of those riders who were either too far away or time got
there first, including Fausto Coppi, Louison Bobet, Jacques
Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor.Join Les Woodland on a captivating
journey back to the golden age of racing.
