Publisher's Synopsis
This is the story of Sandy Scott, his survival of a catastrophic broken neck during his fourth racing competition, and his determination and focus at getting back to racing his bicycle. After one year of excrutiating pain and riding a bicycle trainer in his garage, he exceeded his goal and won the State of Florida and USCF time trials and road races with record-breaking times, and he won the AMS Master Athlete Comeback of the Year Award in 2007 from "Geezerjock"/"Master Athlete" Magazine. The author, Rose Marie Ray, tells the story and then provides the secrets to cycling for fun and to win the gold medals that she and Sandy have been doing at local, national, and multiple state events. Chapters on bike maintenance, choosing the right bike and accessories, riding in a group, doing time trials, and other knowledge from six years of experience will help anyone interested in getting started. The sport is ideal for cardio workouts and having fun. Touring, riding a trail, or doing off road, cycling is for everyone and provides bikes where you can recline, use just your arms, or sit up in the standard position. It is easy on your body and gets you out and off of the couch! What a way to spend a beautiful day!
