Publisher Description
In A Rough Ride, Paul Kimmage gives a devastatingly frank account of what life is really like in the world of professional cycling. In tracing his mixed fortunes, Kimmage describes not only the grueling pressures of the sport but also the seamier side: the widespread use of drugs to enhance performance. A Rough Ride breaks the law of silence to expose a world where the supposed glamour has worn very thin.

A good read.
Although I had never heard of Paul this was a good read into the struggle of becoming a pro cyclist and then the ongoing struggle to stay in the race. It also shows how tougher it was back the day of the 80’s. Good on him for his stance against drugs.
