FRENCH REVOLUTIONS Cycling the Tour De France by Tim Moore

This looks like a cracker of a read, the author cycles the course of the Tour de France. This is a used travel book in good, read condition: pages are clean and tanning lightly with age; light wear and creasing to cover and corners. See photos for cover blurb and sample pages - the book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: Battling it out with the old men on butchers' bikes across the plains of Aquitaine and pursued by cattle over Europe's second highest road, Moore soon finds himself resorting to narcotic assistance, systematic overeating and waxed legs before summoning a support vehicle staffed by cruelly sceptical family and friends. Accounts of his suffering and chicanery, and those encountered in the race's epic history, are interwoven through a look at rural France busy tarting itself up for those 15 seconds of fame as the Tour careers through at 50kph. An heroic depiction of an inadequate man's attempt to achieve the unachievable, Moore's Tour is a tale of calorific excess, ludicrous clothing and intimate discomfort.
