NR Writer - Road Cycling in the USSR (http://nrwriter.com/road-cycling-behind-the-wall-cant-forget-the-past/)

Fantastic story telling about a former USSR National Team cyclist. It's a multi-part blog series that has been slowly released since March. 18 posts so far.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.






Sorry if this is a repost. I didn't find anything about NR Writer using the search.

Good read, wrong about the '72 Summit Series, Canada eventually defeated the Russian team.

All of it is 'before my time' if you may, so I have no idea as to his historical accuracy.

He lived in Montreal in the 80s and 90s, seen him race the Mardis Lachine crit races, total beast on a bike.
