It hurt him so deeply that he never ran another race.

After the deadly race my friend spent 10 years of his life writing about his cycling experiences that resulted in his publishing a book called "The Camel's Heart"! It was his first and only book ever written. I believe it was over 400 pages long and was very gripping even to a non-cyclist like me! After reading it I lent it to a cyclist to read and never got it back. Jack, my friend send me another at no charge when he found out about it. I now have it packed with my other books ready for when we move to TV in the Fall.

Today Jack at the age of about 74 still remains unbelievable active and cycles and Kayaks during the summer month and does cross country skiing during the winter. He is also still self employed in running a hair salon for both men and women... especially the women! He's quite an individual that, with what I've already stated and for other reasons, I admire a great deal.

I have sent a message to Jack and am currently waiting to hear back from him to see if he still has new copies available for sale. If he does I'll post a message here after I hear back if he does for anybody who might be interested in obtaining a copy.

I've heard back from Jack and he says that he has no more copies left for sale. If anyone is interested in the book I described above, I did find that there are 3 used copies availabe at Amazon. The address is:

(You'll have to scroll down about 7 items to find it. Look for "Camel's Heart: From Fitness to Death in the Adirondacks")
