Gironimo!

Now in paperback, this sees Tim Moore cycle the course of the 1914 Giro d'Italia on a wooden bike. The original 3162km race saw 81 starters set out and only 8 finish 2 weeks later, after enduring storms, roads strewn with nails and the loss of an eye for one competitor. From the author of "French Revolutions" and "Do Not Pass Go".
