+1 on Boys in the Boat. I should disclose my bias as a collegiate rower.
Rowing is a beautiful, fascinating, exhilarating sport; different from cycling but many deep similarities. The book brings me back to college summers, riding my bike 15 miles across the causeway to the boathouse, rowing a pair-oared shell in the hot days and nights. If you enjoy the book - and enjoy the beautiful notion that the best ideals of sport are not fame, money, glory or public recognition - - David Halberstam's book about Rowing is also a great read: The Amateurs https://www.amazon.com/Amateurs-Story-Young-Their-Olympic/dp/0449910032 Max Beach Santa Rosa CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
