Done, I'm getting old, I'd like more touring books too.
I'm fed up of racing books.
"How to master MTB trials in your 40s"
Probably a niche too far I think. Doubt it would help me anyway!
Done. Let it be known - when they publish Tour de Shitehole - experience Britain's post-industrial Blues by bike that was my idea.
A biography of Gino Bartali
^ it's very good.
Thank you DavidB, after I'd posted I went for a look and I'd just downloaded that before coming back here.
OK, as my wishes are being granted today could I have a Mason Bokeh Ti GRX Di2 please?
Cavendish, how to improve your sprints in Zwift race.
A Jan Ullrich bio for me. Thought I'd Google it before I posted and it looks like one is coming out soon.
Done.
Are there any books with collections of short stories anecdotes etc? Just read a fishing one that was easy to pick up, short story, put down. Some funny, some about amazing catches, but all centred on why people go fishing.
After reading many of the threads on here, I bet singltrack could publish a collection of stories/experiences. I do not always want to read about pros, I like to read more stuff I can relate to.
Further Adventures in Rough Stuff.
Very excited - can't wait!

A long drive - The story of the man who thinks nothing of a 90 minute drive to ride for an hour but won't do 30 minutes ride on the road to get to his local trails.[/troll]
Ha lunge I could've written most of that myself!
Although I did buy a flat bar gravel bike recently 😂
