<p><b>An eye-opening expose of and a heart-breaking lament for professional cycling</b><br><br>Paul Kimmage's boyhood dreams were of cycling glory: wearing the yellow jersey, cycling the Tour de France, becoming a national hero. He knew it wouldn't come easy, but he was prepared to put in the graft. The dedication paid off – he finished sixth in the World Championships as an amateur and in 1986, he turned professional.<br><br>He soon discovered it wasn't about courage, training hours or how much you wanted to win. It was about gruelling defeats, total exhaustion, and drugs - drugs that would allow you to finish the race and start another day.<br><br> Kimmage ultimately left the sport to write this book – profoundly honest and ground-breaking, <i>Rough Ride </i>broke the silence surrounding the issue of drugs in sport, and documents one man’s love for, and struggle with, the complex world of professional cycling.<br><br> <b>‘A must read for any cyclist’ <i>Cyclist</i></b><br><b>WINNER OF WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR</b></p>
