註釋A racing cyclist details the trials and tribulations of his final season on the road, the culmination of which is an account of the 1978 Tour of Ireland, where he was a member of the Irish team and for eight days a roommate of the future Tour de France winner Stephen Roche. Starting with his first training spin on New Year's Day in Dublin, Cusack kept detailed records of just under ten thousand miles of riding in both adverse and benign conditions during the first nine months of the year, domestically and internationally, before he crossed the line in third place on the final stage of the Tour of Ireland in what was to be his final international event. The importance of mentors and teammates in an unforgiving sport is emphasized in this account, which is intended to inspire and educate aspiring young riders by providing a glimpse of the amateur approach to cycle racing in the late nineteen seventies.
