Recent reading favourite - Nicole Cooke's autobiography

I have been reading Nicole Cooke's autobiography with an increasing anger at the obstacles in her way throughout her cycling career.  It is one of the most evocative description of sexism I have come across (though I don't really read much else that does address sexism)

I was particularly struck by the comparison between the support for the men and women athletes

The worst thing about the book is the cover which I think it awful!

But I do like the picture of her ascending Mont Ventoux when there was still a women's Tour de France

And the proper-coloured pic of her winning the road race gold in the Beijing Olympics is pretty good too
