One man, one bike, one hour. The inside story of Bradley Wiggins's
record-breaking ride
For 60 minutes this summer, the British public stopped what they were
doing, switched on their radios, their TVs, refreshed their Twitter
feeds and followed Bradley Wiggins's attempt to break one of sport's
most gruelling records: The Hour.
The premise is simple enough: how far can you cycle in one hour. But it
is thought to be one of the toughest events an athlete can endure, both
physically and psychologically. Eddy Merckx, cycling's über-champ,
called it the hardest thing he ever did. Wiggins, like many before him,
discovered the unique pain of pushing yourself as hard as you can for 60
minutes.
In this revealing book, Bradley Wiggins takes you behind the scenes of
his record attempt. From planning to preparation, to training to
execution, Bradley shares his thoughts on his sacrifices, his heroes,
and the people who have supported him along the way as well as what's to
come as he heads towards the twilight of his stellar career.
Supported by stunning photography, My Hour is a fitting celebration of
one of Britain's best-loved sportsmen in his finest hour.
