French Revolutions

Follow Tim Moore's hilarious attempt at conquering the fearsome physical challenge of cycling the Tour de France, all 2,256 miles of it, in the weeks before the professionals entered the stage. Hilarity ensues as Moore cheats when he can, pops hayfever pills for an ephedrine rush, sips cheap wine from his water bottle, and occasionally weeps on the phone to his wife. Along the way, he gives readers an account of the race's colorful history and greatest heroes, making French Revolutions a must-read for fans of the Tour de France.
