Critics Review
Absorbing story of the legendary spring classic… A must for fans of all things Paris-Roubaix.
Absorbing story of the legendary spring classic… A must for fans of all things Paris-Roubaix. * Cycle Sport *
I have been acquainted with Mr. MacGregor for many years and know him to be of unsound mind. When he said he was tackling the ‘Hell of the North’, I should have guessed that didn’t mean going home for Christmas. * Tim Moore, author of French Revolutions and Gironimo! *
Evocative and very enjoyable. Highly recommend it. * Peter Cossins, author of The Monuments *
MacGregor’s is a genuinely inspirational story which blends details of his preparation with the race’s history and his take on why it continues to attract the greats. * Birmingham Post *
A highly entertaining read, well written, well paced and guaranteed to bring your enthusiasm for cobbles to the boil. * Washing Machine Post *
