Book Excerpt: Michael Barry's Inside the Postal Bus
Former U.S. Postal Service rider Michael Barry provides a taste (and smell!) of life on the team bus.
"Everybody gets ready at the same time and the bus becomes a zoo. Backpacks of race clothing are opened, with gear spilling out—numbers, jerseys, shorts—everything that we need for racing. Riders punch the buttons of the coffee machine while others push to get to the race food. Sugar, milk, creamer, condensed milk, and stir sticks all sit beside the automatic machine."
