A quick trip into history

Despite all of my training I have also managed to get in some reading. After enjoying Lance Armstrong's Every second counts I decided to delve into British cycling history by reading a book about Tom Simpson, the legendary British cyclist who died on Mount Ventoux during the 1967 Tour de France. What a great tale and a great book.
Needless to say I have renwewed passion for the bike and a great retro Peugeot jersey to go with my leather Brooks saddle.
