JPD's Book Review: Chasing Lance by Martin Dugard
Rating: 3 water bottles (out of 4)
In this quick read, the author recounts his rental-car journey around France in the summer of 2005, tracking Lance's quest for his 7th straight Tour de France win.
Dugard does a nice job capturing the importance, or lack thereof, of each stage with some interesting French history lessons and Tour insight mixed in.
In the end, I felt the book was more about the author's personal journey to discover his own purpose or mission in life, rather than a true Lance-chase.
Although it wasn't my favorite "Lance book" of the three that I've read, I'd still put it in the worthwhile and good category.
