I've cycled since I was a kid, and joined a club when I was 15.
Over the following (nearly) 50 years I've toured, raced and commuted on bikes and been on and off member of various cycling clubs.
Early on, I read a book written by a guy who wasn't a "cyclist" but rode his bike from Burnley to South Africa to take up a teaching post. The adventures he had have stuck in my mind; I've always wanted such an adventure , but have allowed life to get in the way.
This book is partly inspired by his adventure. The book is called Two-wheel Trek by Neil Clough isbn 009930820-7.
