''A unique and funny writer with a true understanding of what it takes to make it as an elite cyclist'' Chris Boardman

Further immerses the reader in the world of endurance cycling as well-known former professional cyclist Michael Hutchinson talks to ultra-distance athletes, exercise scientists, nutritionists and psychologists - ''those who''ve done it and those who understand it''- as he unpicks both the physical and mental demands, attempts to understand the key to successful endurance, and tries not to get himself accidentally killed while riding a frankly terrifyingly long-distance event.
