Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Rider by Tim Krabbé, read by Mark Meadows.
At the start of the 137-kilometre Tour de Mont Aigoual, Tim Krabbé glances up from his bike to assess the crowd of spectators. ‘Non-racers,’ he writes. ‘The emptiness of those lives shocks me.’ Immediate and gripping from the first page, we race with the author as he struggles up the hills and clings on during descents in the unforgiving French mountains.
Originally published in 1978, The Rider is a modern-day classic that is recognised as one of the best books ever written about the sport. Brilliantly conceived and best listening at a break-neck pace, it is a loving, imaginative and passionate tribute to the art of cycle racing.
