Title: Mesmerizing
Product review: I'm a cycler and I read this just after finishing the 500-mile across Iowa rolling party known as RAGBRAI. Everyone was talking about the Tour de France, and this book is exactly what to read to get the feel of the race. The book describes a one-day race on a small portion of the Tour. You are in the author's pocket the entire way. The author is a gifted cyclist, as well as a gifted author (and, in a previous life, a chess champion). He says things about cycling that are infinitely true. Particularly apt was his comment that cyclers love pain. It is the pain that makes each individual experience memorable. A highly entertaining story about a very personal quest.
