520    Contestants have died, been maimed, and spiraled down into
       the nightmarish realm of madness. Half of them don't 
       finish—in fact, only 200 racers have ever made it to the 
       end. Outside magazine calls it "the toughest test of 
       endurance in the world." RAAM (the Race Across America) is
       a bicycle race like no other. This epic race is the most 
       brutal organized sporting event you've never heard of and 
       one of the best-kept secrets in the sports world. Author 
       Amy Snyder follows a handful of athletes before, during, 
       and after the 2009 event, the closest and most 
       controversial in history. Hell on Two Wheels is a 
       thrilling and remarkably detailed account of their ups and
       downs, triumphs and tragedies. By experiencing the race 
       from the perspective of the racers themselves, Hell on Two
       Wheels breaks new ground in helping us appreciate how such
       a grueling effort can be so cleansing and self-revelatory.
       This is more than just a race; it's a monster, a crucible,
       an unforgettable allegory about the human experience of 
       pain and joy and self-discovery.
