Land's End to John O' Groats

Description

Back in 2005 Dave and his friend Derek decided they needed a challenge and so what better than a little bike ride around the countryside. Read on...'When you're nearly forty years old, just recovering from glandular fever and double pneumonia what better way to celebrate your wedding than to leave your wife behind to cycle the length of Britain? An account of two friends, who got drunk one night and decided to pedal nearly 1000 miles for charity, proving that you don't need a state-of-the-art road bike, a skin-tight outfit with a TV sponsor written on the front or a made-to-measure ego - you just need a good mate, a beer mat's worth of planning, no training whatsoever and the will to do it.' More than just another cycling trip, this book is a funny and sometimes moving account of a few weeks in the summer of 2005 when coupled with various personal events life takes on a new and different perspective. This book will either inspire you to get on your bike or have you laughing all the way to the pub.
