After five years of blue-collar cycling in Belgium, Joe Parkin returns to the United States looking for a ride. He joins the elite Coors Lite road team as a key member, but the adjustment to domestic racing, with small crowds, inexperienced teammates, and poorly promoted events, proves difficult. Disillusioned, Joe is ready to hang up his cleats when he is offered a contract with a pro mountain bike team. The freshness of mountain biking proves to be an elixir: Joe's career blossoms and he rediscovers his love of the sport. "Come and Gone" is a rare, frank, and intimate sports memoir. Joe Parkin's bike racing experiences in Belgium were written up in 2008 and published in the highly acclaimed book "Dog in a Hat". His writing style is self-deprecating, refreshing, and has a gritty honesty which is demonstrated again in this new memoir.
