For all cycling fans that love the rich history of this great sport, I recommend, 'Goggles & Dust: Images from Cycling's Glory Days' by the The Horton Collection. Thanks to Shelly and Brett Horton for their increasing number (350 K and counting) of original photographs and negatives that span the late 1800s through the 1970s. That's quite a collection. This book is hard to put down and I find myself happily going back to all the photos of a time gone by.
Every image celebrates the grit and determination of the cycling
heroes of the past.
As Paris-Roubaix is a 'scant' four months away, I'm already looking forward to it. The race has always been a testing ground for modifications for the bikes. Here's an interesting video, from last year, of how Astana's mechanic has their bikes set-up for a rough time on les paves. As bike technology changes the race remains for the riders and their mechanics, as the most challenging one-day classic.
