Tim Moore's "French Revolutions" is about his amateur attempt (with no training) to ride all of the stages of the Tour de France. Quite hilarious. Dominic Gill's "Take a Seat" is nice armchair/Metro reading. "Off the Map: Bicycling Across Siberia" was a fascinating read.<br /><br />I'll have to give Dervla Murphy a second chance...I found her insufferable the first book of hers that I read.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436493892942565134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-37793040865224740732012-08-02T17:04:19.366-04:002012-08-02T17:04:19.366-04:00My recommendation is "Into Thick Air." ...My recommendation is "Into Thick Air."

I just got the chance to read the first 35 pages of "Into the Remote Places" by Ian Hibell. A copy is kept in the ACA library in Missoula, which houses several hundred (perhaps over a thousand) cycling related books. A separate shelf contains hundreds more cycling guidebooks. Ian's travels tend toward "high adventure", but are well written.<br /><br />nicholasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-35060683135868660662012-07-27T22:41:48.972-04:002012-07-27T22:41:48.972-04:00Full Tilt- Dervla MurphyFull Tilt- Dervla MurphyKCJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17944161828191109211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-30002260871166468492012-07-27T20:45:26.564-04:002012-07-27T20:45:26.564-04:00Miles From Nowhere by Barbara Savage

If you read French, Lionel Bran's "Seul à Bicyclette de Paris à Saïgon"; out of print, so you'd better hope your library has a copy. There was only one edition. He was also a constructeur.<br /><br />David Stamboulis' "Odysseus' Last Stand" is so-so; he whines a lot. "Catfish and Mandala" by Andrew X. Pham covers a trip through Vietnam pretty nicely.Richard Risemberghttp://www.bicyclefixation.comnoreply@blogger.com
