Description

The definitive history of Indiana University's legendary bike race, The Little 500, a spring tradition since 1951 (and the basis for the Academy Award-winning film Breaking Away). Schwarb goes behind the scenes with winning teams and heartbroken losers, and chronicles the weekend's effect on a growing campus and ever-changing student body. Over 150 color and B&W photos take you to the heart of the action.
