A follow-up to Parkin’s A Dog in A Hat. Here he writes of his bike racing days after he left the professional European scene and moved back to the U.S.. The book is well written in a conversational style, and often reads like an old man’s barroom reminiscences: it’s interesting, funny and sad at times, but begins to feel repetitive near the end (better that then near the beginning!). That said, both these books are brilliant and fun to read. The cool thing about this book is that parts of it take place in Minneapolis.
