Ed Pickering is one of the UK's leading cycling writers, having written for a range of publications from Cycling Weekly to the New York Times and Loaded. He is the author of the critically acclaimed The Race Against Time and The Yellow Jersey Club, and the editor of Procycling magazine.
'With regard to the Ronde, Edward Pickering has written what can
only be regarded as the definitive book on the subject. if you wish
to bear even a minuscule degree of self-respect as a cycling fan,
you must buy this book and read it from cover to cover before this
year's event...superbly written, well presented and compulsive to
the last.'
*The Washing Machine Post*
'The Tour of Flanders is such a great race, arguably the greatest
one day race because of the way it subsumes the region for a day
like no other event. So when a book shows up there’s anticipation
mixed with risk: can it live up to the promise? It does and you’ll
put the book down knowing a lot more about the race and the region.
Don’t read it expecting tips on what gearing or tire pressure to
use up the Koppenberg, it’s much more the psychogeography of the
Ronde and Flanders and all the better for it.'
*The Inner Ring*
'The race is, as Pickering explains in this beautifully written
book, inseparable from the landscape, and the people who inhabit
Flanders. The Ronde is exquisitely written and its style, at
least to me, is fascinating... Read this wonderful book about the
world’s greatest race. Unleash your inner Flandrian: the
ten-commandments on how to be a Flandrian are revealed within: You
will not regret it.'
