This new collection from cyclist Bob Roll reflects his unique perspective on the professional racing circuit and his own brand of dry humor. Straightforward yet sly, funny but perhaps a little crazy, Roll calls it like he sees it. Here are anecdotes about the Tour de France, international mountain-bike tournaments, training struggles, heart-stopping crashes, and personal vendettas, all of which provide a fascinating inside look at the world of championship cycling.
Wonderful Views from the Saddle
| Customer Rating: | If you have seen or heard Bob Role you know how real a person he is. He hides nothing of himself or the Cyclist's life. The short chapters of vivid recollections of painful days spent in the saddle are wonderful.
"The day the big men cried" is worth the price of the book five times over.
If you love bike racing read this book! |
Almost as good as the first
| Customer Rating: | | I really enjoy the way Bobke tells a story and this book is almost as good as his first. |
Bobke Rocks!
| Customer Rating: | | This book is a collection of Bob Roll's training/travel journal while racing in the Tour de France and the European circuit as well as his days as a mountain biker. There are random thoughts sprinkled throughout the book. The passages are not only informative about the day in day out life of a pro biker, they are laugh out loud funny. I also think Bob's attitude toward racing is awesome: He goes out and does his best and whatever happens, happens. He is stoked over a 30th place finish in a World Cup mountain bike race if he knows he rode his best or recovered from a flat or fall to earn that spot. A highly recommended read. |
BOBKE II
| Customer Rating: | | I found this book very funny and liked it very much.Reading about him and seeing him on tv, he is comical and the book is well written. I found myself laughing out loud at some of his antica. |
Where To Get Your Bobke Fix!
| Customer Rating: | While watching Le Tour De France this year (2007) my wife and I fell in love with Bob Roll. What a character! And when the Tour was over we went into withdrawal...
So we were delighted beyond belief to find we could get our Bobke fix with "Continuing Misadventures."
Is "Bobke II" for everyone? Not likely. Not everyone likes "cowboy poets." But if you kinda sorta grok where Mr. Roll's coming from, this book is a treat!
And whenever my wife and I bike a century now? We plan, to borrow Bobke's phrase, "To finish in good order."
Now... haven't seen anything in VELONEWS recently by Mr. Roll... starting to shake... Is that a little purple elephant on the wall?
