Description
Riding With The Rocketmen: One Man's Journey on the Shoulders of Cycling Giants
James Witts, a cycling journalist and amateur cyclist, sets out to transform himself from a back-of-the-pack sportive straggler into a fit-and-fast frontrunner. With unparalleled access to the world's best riders and their expert support staff, Witts gains insight into the training, gear, and nutritional tricks of the trade. He puts these regimes to the test, training, riding, and eating like the planet's toughest athletes, with the ultimate goal of conquering a stage of the Tour de France.
Part humorous memoir, part training guide, this entertaining and warm-hearted tale reveals the secrets of the cycling world. Will Witts sacrifice his love of craft ale for the sake of stamina-boosting beetroot juice? Can an altitude mask really send his performance soaring? Follow Witts as he navigates the world of professional cycling and discovers what it takes to become a true champion.
