Bradley Wiggins to make book-signing appearance in Manchester
Sir Bradley Wiggins will be in Waterstones book shop, Manchester, on December 5 signing copies of his new book, My Hour
Sir Bradley Wiggins will make a personal appearance at Waterstones book shop in Manchester on Saturday, December 5, to sign copies of his new book, My Hour.
Wiggins will attend Waterstones' Deansgate store from 12 noon to sign copies of his book, which charts his preparation and performance during his successful UCI Hour Record attempt in June this year and includes exclusive photography.
It is reportedly the 2012 Tour de France champion and four-time Olympic gold medallist's sole public signing appearance.
My Hour publisher Yellow Jersey Press says that Wiggins's latest book takes the reader "behind the scenes of his record attempt. From planning to preparation, to training to execution, Bradley shares his thoughts on his sacrifices, his heroes, and the people who have supported him along the way as well as what’s to come as he heads towards the twilight of his stellar career."

The book is published on November 19, priced £20 (hardback).

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
