Synopsis

This book tells the story of taking on the biggest endurance ride of my life, cycling almost 4,000 miles around the coast of mainland Britain, over a 7-week period.

Around Britain in 50 days – a cycling adventure is not intended to be an encyclopaedia of endurance cycling, but it is hopefully interesting and inspiring, whilst providing practical advice to others considering taking on a similar challenge.

The book describes what was involved in preparing for the challenge. It includes the training regime, route planning, logistics and meeting Mark Beaumont, the world record holding endurance cyclist. A daily diary of the ride provides a ‘warts and all’ insight into the trials, tribulations, and joy of riding around this beautiful island.

The after-effects of the ride and reflections on this epic adventure include the difficulties of adjusting to real life, after such extreme mental and physical exertion.

My main motivation for taking on the challenge was to raise money for charity, for Prostate Cancer UK. Thanks to the hard work of my team and the generosity of the public, we were able to make a significant donation. And it doesn’t end there; all proceeds from the sale of the book will go to Prostate Cancer UK.
