    I didn't know it was translated (finally - because it was published for the first time in Dutch in
    1978). But it's a wonderful book indeed. One of the best books on cycling I've ever read.

    Agreed ... I got the translation late last year, and devoured it in a single sitting ...

    Now if someone would translate Javier Garcia Sanchez's "L'Alpe d'Huez" ...

    Odd 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.

    That doesn't look like an American website.

    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
