### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A great cycling tour
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018*

Charly Wegelius describes the world of professional cycling in an accurate and interesting way. His experience comes through the pages well, and this book is a page turner. Cyclists will appreciate the account especially.I have raced myself, and the descriptions are incredibly accurate. Cycling is hard. And heartbreaking. And rewarding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2016*

A compelling and honest portrayal of life as a pro cyclist, for most it not podiums and parties, it is hard work and doesn't always come with a lot of thanks. Charly provides us with an insight into the engine room of a professional team, and the life of those that forge their trade for the greater benefit of others. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, found it hard to put down, and now having finished it I feel better informed on the inner workings of a professional cycling team and the gritty life of a domestique.  "...as I sobbed into my hands and the tears mixed into the sweat and filth of the dirty roads that covered my face, I knew the truth about professional cycling: it's no ... fairytale."

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2013*

Having read Secret Race, Wheelmen, Rough Ride and a myriad of articles while recovering from cracked ribs suffered as a result of a cycling accident, I have to say this is by far my favorite book.  Wegelius engages the reader with wit and honesty, taking you through the entire life cycle of a professional cyclist. He doesn't resort to sensationalism or pointing fingers at others for making personal choices about the way they competed.  Instead he focuses on the lifestyle, with all the anxieties and shortcomings, that an in-the-trenches kind of cyclist goes through just to stay on a bike and still get paid to do it.  I found it engrossing and informative. I highly recommend this book for a look into the world of a cyclist that never had bracelets made for him or found his picture in a magazine popping a wheelie crossing a finish line. He was the type of rider that made it possible for others to those things.
