At the start of the 137-kilometre Tour de Mont Aigoual, Tim Krabbe
glances up from his bike to assess the crowd of spectators.
'Non-racers,' he writes. 'The emptiness of those lives shocks me.'
Immediate and gripping from the first page, we race with the author
as he struggles up the hills and clings on during descents in the
unforgiving French mountains. Originally published in 1978, The
Rider is a modern-day classic that is recognised as one of the best
books ever written about the sport. Brilliantly conceived and best
read at a break-neck pace, it is a loving, imaginative and
passionate tribute to the art of cycle racing.
