""I rode my first race in 1990 and, with no family history in cycling, I was hungry for knowledge. As a result I spent a lot of time at the back of the workshop at Giramondo Cycles, reading old magazines about Australian cycling in the 1970s and 80s. The stories behind the family dynasties of the Sansonettis, Suttons and Hammonds, the feats of John Trevorrow, Danny Clark, Clyde Sefton, Peter ""Bulldog"" Besanko and Don Allan, the young Phil Anderson and Allan Peiper taking on Europe, and Gordon Johnson vs John Nicholson at the Brunswick velodrome. They all took on mythical proportions. This book takes me back to my time of discovery. The beginning of my life long love affair with cycling and the characters who give the sport its personality.""
