From the author of the cult favorite Pro Cycling on $10 a Day and Ask a Pro, the story of one man's quest to realize his childhood dream, and what happened when he actually did it.

Like countless other kids, Phil Gaimon grew up dreaming of being a professional athlete. But unlike countless other kids, he actually pulled it off. After years of amateur races, hard training, living out of a suitcase, and never taking "no" for an answer, he finally achieved his goal and signed a contract to race professionally on one of the best teams in the world.

Now, Gaimon pulls back the curtain on the WorldTour, cycling's highest level. He takes readers along for his seasons in Europe, covering everything from rabid, water-bottle-stealing Belgian fans, to contract renewals, to riding in poisonous smog, to making friends in a sport plagued by doping. Draft Animals reveals a story as much about bike racing as it is about the never-ending ladder of achieving goals, failure, and finding happiness if you land somewhere in-between.

Transformative
Format: Paperback
I rarely write reviews, but this book truly deserves it. From the moment I started reading, I realized this was not just another edition of scripture—it felt like stepping into a deeper, more complete spiritual library. The inclusion of texts like Enoch and Jubilees adds layers of meaning that are often missing from more familiar versions. I found myself pausing often to reflect because the content is so rich and thought-provoking. The large print is an absolute blessing. I spend a lot of time reading each day, and this format has significantly reduced eye strain. It allows me to fully immerse myself without discomfort, which is something I didn’t realize I needed until I experienced it. What I appreciate most is how this book bridges curiosity and faith. It invites you to explore, question, and learn while still feeling grounded. Whether you’re a long-time student of scripture or just beginning your journey, this edition offers something meaningful. It has quickly become one of the most important books in my personal library.

Love these for my classroom!
Posters go great with my book! I use them as a visual as my class works through each of the love languages lessons. Order arrived on time. Update: I've used these posters for years now and they are great. I recommend laminating them so you can keep reusing them over the years. Two thumbs up!
