Adrian Elson has been involved in the sport of Cyclo-Cross for over fifty years. During that time he's been a competitor; a commentator and he has also written about the discipline. In 'Commentary Connections' he profiles and interviews seven top riders - who have all had a unique impact on his life. Ranging from an innocent schoolboy crush, to a 'near' death experience, he also seeks to probe beneath the surface of each of his subjects as they discuss their careers in their own words. It includes perhaps the greatest amount of text ever dedicated to the great John Atkins. Finally, having been a commentator for nearly ten years, he writes about a debut that involved 'Roger Hammond,' a tv appearance and his very first National Championships. All the proceeds of the book will go to 'CRY' in memory of Charlie Craig.
