The Ronde by Ed Pickering For World Book Day I am resurrecting the Cycling Books podcast.

I have resurrected my old Cycling Books podcast to celebrate World Book Day.

The Ronde by Ed Pickering, you know, to coincide with the classics and all that.

I spoke to Ed more than 7 years ago about his book, one of the best about cycling ever written.
