Through 156 pages, The Wee Roads takes you into the beating heart of Irish national road racing.
All national events, current, former, time-trial/sprint based have exposure aside a plethora of real road racing’s most notorious talents.
Action, candid, fly on the wall pics merge nicely with strong photo captions in Stephen Davison’s tenth publication which includes a chapter on Irish road racing’s 126 year old-history by Richard Agnew.
The good, the bad, the in-between, the joyous, the quirky, the surprising, the perhaps- not known; its’ all covered.
For roads scene aficionados, this book is of course a must buy, you will be reading for five minutes, then it becomes ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.
Petrolheads all-round will also be-drawn-to-it; not a dull read, it keeps you entertained, enthused.
Ive’ always had this phrase, when describing pure road racers and their unique skillset, normal people wearing superhero cloaks.
If one can imagine in the X-Men films, what appears for a moment, an average joe individual sitting down, walking, going about their everyday business, then all-of a sudden, changing into their alter ego.
The Wee Roads – Irish National Road Racing, highlights this notion firmly.
