"Ride On! Dame Sarah Storey's Extraordinary Journey of Triumph" by S.A. Sterling is at once an inspiring and riveting read about the life and career of, undoubtedly, one of Britain's most exceptional athletes. This collection has been dedicated to the life and rise of Dame Sarah Storey, from an ambitious young swimmer up to a world-class cyclist, setting most records en route and winning thousands of plaudits.

In this densely detailed yet engaging presentation, Sterling takes her readers through a full view of Storey's journey. Starting with Storey's first successes in swimming, her move into cycling, and then on to international success, the key moments of Storey's life are all amply covered. It is clear that Sterling does not let go of a single opportunity to unfold a little-known fact and give the reader an insight into Storey's most serene and undisturbed moments of determination, strength, and unwavering endeavor to achieve excellence.

The very structure of the book proves attractive, with Storey's personal anecdotes running parallel to much wider reflections on her impact on sports in general and disability advocacy more specifically. Sterling does a great job of actually capturing the spirit of Storey—determined, humble, indomitable—so that in effect the biography does not become some kind of achievement recap but a celebration of character and influence.

Technical aspects of cycling are, however, sometimes elaborated upon in the book and may be rather impractical for readers unfamiliar with this sport. Nevertheless, Sterling's capability to translate the experience of Storey in a very accessible and inspiring way makes up for these instances.

Overall, "Ride On!" is a tale of the great accomplishments of Dame Sarah Storey and, without a doubt, it will inspire every reader interested in sport, overcoming adversity, and simply human endurance. Sterling has done a fantastic job creating a tribute to one of the true sporting icons, whose story is as motivational as it gets.
