Lo All

Just wanted to see if anyone had any appetite for a (temporary) exchange of any cycling books. I've just finished The Secret Race by Tyler Hamilton, and I'm keen to do some more reading while I've got some down time over Chrissie. I've also got Riding Through the Dark by David Millar (he of Millarcopter fame http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIW1MAvyPD4).

Cheers
Greg

@Greg We have Robbie 'FIGJAM' Mcewen's autobiography 'One Way Road' and Cadel Evans' autobiography 'Close to Flying' (pre tour win hardback version and signed by Cadel for Jo so MUST come back).

Jo has heaps more cycling books, but all on her iPad.

Happy to try one of the LA books and FIGJAM. I'll pass on Close to Flying - don't trust myself with a signed copy.

Any preference which of the two you lads would like?

I really liked the Anna mears story, read it on the way down to the Grafton, messaged Anna to say I loved it and she sent above message back, she is heaps nice, and it turns out her hubby has done the Grafton too.

I've left some of cycling biographies at Omafiefs bike shop in Marrickville. They're all for sale for around $8-15.

I have a number of other cycling books that I'm happy to loan out but want to hold onto. I'll write a list when I return to Syd.

@Greg I've finished 'The Secret Race' ... Gee Lance is a nice guy huh?

@Nozzle - I'll pass it on to you if you want it although I'm off to Tassie on wed night and then to the USA. If you want to drop around to ours?

Great read isn't it?

Still yet to start in FIGJAM, but Pete - done with the TDF book. When can I drop that back?

@Greg I've still got Secret Race and in fact it's in our "must return to owner" pile. Since then have bought the Rupert / Cadel book about his TdF win - can't remember what it's called. Quite a good read.
