Great fun to read with just the right amount of historical detail to be interesting without getting boring. Well written with a delightful eccentric style. I’d love to do this ride! ( )

As an Australian cyclist who happens to share the name of the author, I was intrigued to see a cycle touring book that's ostensibly written by me. Not quite up there with the Crane Brothers' Journey to the Centre of the Earth as a cycle tour tale, but pleasant and engaging nonetheless. Well done Mike.
