A must read for anyone who loves literature and cycling. I see myself re-reading this at the beginning of every season.

What a wonderful book. I can't believe I hadn't read it before and know I will read it again. Favourite bit
“The Ventoux has no it-self. It’s the greatest revelation of yourself. It simply returns your fatigue and fear. It has total knowledge of the shape you are in, your capacity for cycling happiness, and happiness in general. It’s yourself you’re climbing. If you don’t want to know, stay at the bottom.”
