From Broken Neck to Broken Records provides an in-depth look at Scott, an outstanding cyclist, and the mental and physical strength it took to go from a near death experience to winning 11 gold medals, and breaking records in time trials and road race competitions. These accomplishments were achieved 13 months after being told by a spinal surgeon that he would never ride a bike again.

In From Broken Neck to Broken Records, the authors tell the story of how Scott overcame his life-threatening injury through hard work and perseverance. Ray and Scott also explain how Sandy went from spending five months in a hard neck brace to moving on with his life, by getting back on his bike.

From Broken Neck to Broken Records also includes a "How to Win" section, meant to inspire and instruct athletes. This is a guide for masters cyclists over 35 years of age and other athletes of all ages. It includes motivational coaching and helpful information on how to win races and break records. Written to be both practical and easy-to-read, this guide explores everything from buying your bike, setting and achieving goals, training, bike maintenance, racing, and ultimately winning gold medals.

From Broken Neck to Broken Records: A Masters Cyclist's Guide to Winning is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
