    Any good books out there? Can be bike related, factual or novels? Amazon order going in this week.
    Was probably going to take ‘The Rider’ – bike race in south of France.

    Half interested in David Millar’s book but might be a bit dark for hols.

    Probably take two or three in total.

    Cheers will start checking them out.
    Banks has been a favorite but never touched his Sci Fi stuff before.
    DavidB – I was browsing your book earlier. Looks like a labour of love.
    Trainspotting takes me back.

    French Revolutions by Tim Moore or his newish one on the UK ‘you’re rubbish but i love your whatever its called. Both very humourous without being lame.
