| Summary |
"Armed with wit and humour, veteran sports writer Paul Howard tackles the longest mountain bike race in the world--the Tour Divide. Covering five geographical regions along the Continental Divide and featuring nearly every type of terrain imaginable, the race is no small feat for Howard, who has never owned a mountain bike before. Testing the limits of his physical training, his fear of bears and his comfort zone, Howard experiences culture shock at every turn, bonds with his fellow riders and describes the ever-changing surroundings with a mixture of tourist's awe and dry British wit. Eat, Sleep, Ride is a hilarious account of the world as it can only be viewed from a bicycle"--Page 4 of cover. |
