Known as 'The No. 1 Bicycling Book of All Time' by Routine Sport, Wide-Eyed and Legless is a fast-paced, fly-on-the-wall storyline of courage, strength, bungling, rows and cheating in sport's ideal marathon. In 1987, the Head to was acquired by Irishman Stephen Roche. It had been the very first time the champion had hailed from outside the Continent or the Claims and the very first time in 20 years a British team - ANC Halfords - had competed in the world's toughest and craziest race. Jeff Connor not only remained with the British team but also found himself an unofficial team member. In this particular new edition of Wide-Eyed and Legless, now generally seen as a classic, Connor describes what must be done to compete, endure and earn during those 26 days and nights of gruelling effort. Alongside the heroism and athleticism, he shows the extraordinary levels of chicanery, from tugging riders along to illicit medication use. Time hasn't dimmed the impact of the eye-opening and interesting close-up look at the supreme strength event, and Wide-Eyed and Legless is destined to be acclaimed by a new generation of bicycling enthusiasts.
