I recently finished Joe Parkin's "A Dog in a Hat". It's an interesting corollary to Just Ride, in that it's a detailed journal from inside pro bike racing in Europe and does not paint the picture as especially flattering or heroic. Actually seems quite a grim life.
Intro by Bob Roll, begins "I did tell Joe Parkin to go to Belgium. I did not, however, tell him to stay." dougP On Jul 11, 3:18 pm, pb <pbridge...@aol.com> wrote: > To complement our trip to Normandy last spring, I'm reading Citizens of > London, about American diplomats etc who lived in London during WWII -- > strongly recommended if you'd like to know more than jingoist movies teach > us about the history of US involvement in that war.
