1978). But it's a wonderful book indeed. One of the best books on cycling I've ever read.Benjo Maso

31-5479300?v=glance&s=booksOdd that they list a HC edition, usually ships 1-2 days, but don't give an [add to cart] button.
Maybe that's how they relay info from the Nevada bookseller with the copy. Anyway, I figure I'll
give my local book shop the business. -

I just ordered the book, do we have a problem here?
If so, maybe I could get the Pope to bless it.

Hey, that's my site :-)
I joined this 5-day ride in the Cevennes, it was very hot, but big fun. We did Tim's time trial on
the Col d'Uglas (a dutch marathonskater broke Tim's record) and as the last stage we rode the race
he describes in his book (due to a blocked road we an even worse road... and the temperature rose to
37.7 celsius that day....). Tim Krabbe joined us for some days and was so enthousiastic about the
event that he started cycling himself again. Tim's own pictures are on
