French Revolutions by Tim Moore
A depiction of an inadequate man's attempt to achieve the unachievable and ride the route taken by the pros on the 2000 Tour de France, this is a tale of calorific excess, ludicrous clothing and intimate discomfort. Seduced by the speed and glamour of the biggest annual sporting event in the world, and unusually determined to tackle the most fearsome physical challenge outside classical mythology, Moore, the ultimate amateur, attempts to complete all 3630 km of the 2000 tour in the weeks before the professionals set off.
His sporting career cut short by rumour and innuendo, Tim Moore now writes for the Sunday Times, the Observer, the Financial Times and Esquire. He lives quietly with his wife and three children in West London, entertaining them with nightly recitations of the critical praise lavished on his first book, Frost on My Moustache.
