For all of those who are Lentil Mental or just interested in careers of past world cycling greats I can thoroughly recommend this little book. "Health Before Fitness" by Cyril Cartwright. Cyril was a world class cyclist of the 40's & 50's until a serious illness in 1949 threatened to end his cycling career and dump him on the "scrap heap". The book is about how he restored his health by self treatment and diet. The tales of Cyril are legendary in the "Clarion" club of how he used to race to and fro from work on his Bates with his pit boots on. Wonderful book on cycling with evocative photographs. Fascinating reading about his self cure programme.
Best wishes and be lucky. Michael Butler Huntingdon UK.
