About Team 7-Eleven

NEW EDITION The first book to tell the full story of America's first and greatest pro cycling team. Updated with new photos, facts, and information about where the famous team members are now. Forewords by Eric Heiden and Eddy Merckx. You could count America's world-class cyclists on one hand in 1980. Yet within a few short years, the 7-Eleven cycling team launched the superstar careers of Davis Phinney, Ron Kiefel, Andy Hampsten, Bob Roll, and many more. From humble beginnings in a Pennsylvania barn to soaring victories in the French Alps, Team 7-Eleven is the remarkable story of how two cycling fans found one exceptional sponsor and changed the world of cycling forever. "[Team 7-Eleven's] history is chronicled in great detail. Longtime cycling journo Geoff Drake and Jim Ochowicz (one of the team's co-founders) highlight the trials and tribulations of putting the team on an international stage." - NBC Sports "A lively, easy read...not only an important piece of cycling history, but a slice of Americana as well." - NYVelocity "Well-paced and very entertaining.... An excellent addition to the history of the sport." - PezCyclingNews "Essential history for anyone who has ever swung a leg over the top tube of a racing bike.... Drake serves up fine writing fare by the fork full." - Le Grimpeur
