Much more importantly Saddle Sore Spirituality makes connections between the bike and the struggles that many face in their spiritual walk. It ties the physical and the spiritual together in an inspiring and humorous text Written in easy to understand language with a good deal of subtle wit mixed in, Saddle Sore Spirituality provides advice and guidance learned from over three decades of cycling all over the world. Bob Blaylock shares his experience and knowledge with down-to-earth information that is important to the beginner. Blaylock, modestly states, "So, as you read this book, understand that I speak more from lessons of error than from the podium of a professor."
