This is a book written by someone I know and unlike many sports related books it is well written and very well researched.
The highlights are the golden nuggets of the story of different riders in Rwanda such as Rocky, Gasore and Adrien Niyonshuti and a rider called Abraham.
It isn't 'cool-runnings' but it has some seriously good parts.
Some of the chapters are a little 'academic' and sometimes add to but not always follow the flow of the more powerful stories of the riders involved.
Quite a few people in the book are looking for redemption. However in the case of the riders, they are just trying something new in their country
Found a proof copy in my local Oxfam. Reading now.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
Worth a read.
