Having been a fickled reader in my college years (reading random old sports books and manga mostly). It was and still is hard for me to find a book to be interested in. Only in the past three years, being surrounded by English teachers, I been bombarded with books from a variety of different "classic" genres like zombies and dancing. But one subject that I have never really gotten into despite my obsessive interest is cycling. Up until I heard there was a book signing for Team Seven-Eleven, the story of the first all American professional team to go the Tour De France. They had a event at Los Altos at the Bicycle Outfitters where the team manager and a handful of the original team members were there to talk about the book and sign a couple copies. Having never really met any professional cyclists or been interested in professional cycling in general I wanted to check it out what the hubbub was all about. Meeting the riders and team manager it was apparent that they had a certain type of panche to how they acted. They had a sense of confidence with their stories but still had very human-like qualities that you could relate too. They had a sense of competitiveness that was scary even from across the room. I bought the book because of these amazing stories and so far it's be a refreshing reminder that I don't have the drive nor do I have competitive nature to even try to race. But I digress back to the main point at hand. Grant's book.l Like many of you on the forum, I'm planning on pre-ordering the book because I enjoy Rivendell's qualities and notions on bike riding and I'm interested in reading the book maybe buy a copy or two for a handful of cycling buddies. But for those that don't know what Rivendell is all about it would be great if Rivendell hosted a book signing or even better a bike ride/book signing for those that don't really know the mystery's of just riding. Just a thought.
