About this ebook
A hard-driven, middle-aged, male boss concocts a unique competition for his staff that will take place at night, on bikes, on an abandoned railroad in Appalachia (USA). The motive behind this off-road cycling race is unclear to the five office employees, though the weather is on the fateful mid-October evening. With bright headlamps and puncture-resistant tires, what could go wrong?
Approx. 4,700 words.
If this tale were an American movie, it would most likely be rated PG-13 for some foul language.
