Eat, Sleep, Ride: How I Braved Bears, Badlands and Big Breakfasts in My Quest to Cycle the Tour Divide

By Paul Howard

"What kind of person selects a 2700-plus mile self-supported event for his first mountain bike race? A person looking for adventure and willing to push himself, and occasionally his bike, for almost a month. The Tour Divide stretches from Banff, Alberta, to Antelope Wells, NM, over paved roads and dirt, on some tracks only as wide as the bike, and among moose and rattlesnakes. A test of stamina, determination, willpower, and equipment, this relatively small race draws many whose only goal is completion. Howard ("Sex, Lies and Handlebar Tape: The Remarkable Life of Jacques Anquetil, the First Five-Times Winner of the Tour de France" perseveres with humor as he weathers insane storms, rations his food, gets separated from companions, and occasionally struggles to continue, almost crying at the loss of a bag of Skittles. Unlike "The Cordillera" a literary journal of essays about the race, this title covers one biker's journey from start to finish. VERDICTThe story of a lengthy and sometimes grueling race told with humor and insight, this book is highly recommended for all cyclists, and it will delight armchair adventurers."  (Library Journal)  Check Our Catalog
