Sinossi
Una gara di 3.162 km. Un uomo di 48 anni. Una bici di 100 anni. Fatta principalmente di legno. Che ha costruito lui stesso. Tim Moore parte per ricreare la gara ciclistica più spaventosa di tutti i tempi. Il famigerato Giro d'Italia del 1914 fu un calvario di tappe di 400 chilometri, cataclismatiche tempeste notturne e sabotaggi incessanti, il tutto a base di uova crude e vino rosso. Degli 81 che partirono da Milano, solo otto tornarono indietro. Impegnato nell'autenticità totale, Tim acquista il guscio rovinato di una bici da corsa del 1914 senza cambio e con ruote in legno, con tappi di sughero per freni, alcune mappe e un preoccupante completo d'epoca completato da un paio di occhiali da saldatore con lenti blu. Dalle Alpi all'Adriatico, la coppia rivive la gara ciclistica in tutta la sua miseria e gloria, in un'avventura che è a turno audace, bella e sconsideratamente incompetente.

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. A 3,162 km race. A 48-year-old man. A 100-year-old bike. Made mostly of wood. That he built himself. Tim Moore sets off to recreate the most appalling bike race of all time. The notorious 1914 Giro d'Italia was an ordeal of 400-kilometre stages, cataclysmic night storms and relentless sabotage - all on a diet of raw eggs and red wine. Of the 81 who rolled out of Milan, only eight made it back.Committed to total authenticity, Tim acquires the ruined husk of a gearless, wooden-wheeled 1914 road bike with wine corks for brakes, some maps and an alarming period outfit topped off with a pair of blue-lensed welding goggles. From the Alps to the Adriatic the pair relive the bike race in all its misery and glory, on an adventure that is by turns bold, beautiful and recklessly incompetent. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration. Codice articolo GOR008780108
