In 1939 British cyclist Tommy Godwin cycled 75,065 miles in a single year. Think about that for a second: it’s an average of over 200 miles each day. And it’s a mark that still stands after almost 80 years. In The Year, Dave Barter resurrects the legend of the year record - a challenge nearly as old as bicycles themselves - and the cyclists who pushed themselves to establish and break it. Barter uncovers the stories behind these riders who would routinely cycle over a hundred miles a day in the race to set new records. Americans such as John H.

At age 22, Charlie Walker left home in search of adventure. Fleeing the boredom that comes with comfort, he set off on a secondhand bicycle. The aim was simple: to pedal to the furthest point in each of Europe, Asia, and Africa. He didn’t train or plan. He just started. The journey was an escape from an unremarkable existence, a pursuit of hardship, and a chance to shed the complacency of middle England. From the brutality of winter on the Tibetan plateau, to the claustrophobia of the Southeast Asian jungle, the quest provided Charlie with ample opportunity to test his mettle.

The Ecovia do Litoral (the coastal eco-way) is a cycle route that, as the name suggests, follows the coast across the beautiful Algarve region of Southern Portugal. This audiobook follows numerous attempts at the route but focuses mainly on the author's first and, albeit unplanned, disastrous solo expedition in 2012 and two more successful but nonetheless traumatic trips made with equally unprepared friends in 2014 and 2018.

For years Geraint Thomas appeared blessed with extraordinary talent but jinxed at the greatest bike race in the world: twice an Olympic gold medallist on the track, Commonwealth champion, yet at the Tour de France a victim of crashes, bad luck and his willingness to sacrifice himself for his teammates. In the summer of 2018, that curse was blown away in spectacular fashion - from the cobbles of the north and the iconic mountain climbs of the Alps to the brutal slopes of the Pyrenees and, finally, the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

Il giorno prima, l'attesa lieve, agitatissima: cosa accadrà? E poi è il giorno. Lo stadio è una muraglia di colori, di cori, di rumori. Ai lati del percorso gli appassionati di ciclismo si accalcano, attendono, scalpitano sui sandali. Sfilano i campioni in campo. I panchinari. Gli arbitri. Il quarto uomo.
