I am a rider (after all, the name of this site is "cycling.finial.com") and not a writer (which should be obvious :> ). I do, however, read a lot. I have no argument with what he's trying to say, or at least what I think he's trying to say. My 2d paragraph, in fact, starts "The story could have been a good one, it’s certainly compelling enough." I did "get it." It <i>is</i> a compelling story, it's just not compellingly told.

But it's about how people love to ride and suffer for the love of cycling. I would imagine you are a writer and not rider that is why you didn't get it. As I am a rider and not a writer and you will tell me my writing sucks too. Chad You do have a point on his writing style, it’s not perfect. But
