Engaging, amusing and a great travel read,
Whilst the narrative comes from the bike trip, it’s accessible to absolutely everyone. It certainly isn’t bike focused. It’s just a great read. I’ve read loads of travel logs and this is certainly up there with the best of them.

It’s not (just) about the bike…….,
Yeah there’s the odd grammatical error (try reading Dostoyevsky or Hemingway and not finding the same) and a word that doesn’t fit but come on! It’s such an excellent book with a story that begs to be read. The fact that this is honestly one of the few books that I’ve read where I’ve ‘belonged’ to the tale is testament to Dave’s natural writing style.
Like others have said (and to loosely paraphrase Mr Armstrong) it’s not just about the bike, the bike was simply a vehicle to facilitate the journey, both the physical one and the philosophical one. You’ll learn a lot from reading this. Just because it’s a guy’s first book and you’ve maybe never heard of him should not stop you missing out on what is a standout story of what it is to experience life

Good, up-to-date bike map,
The only quibble I have is the location of the elevation profiles. The profile for the whole route is on the reverse side. It would be better in my opinion if they were under each map segment so you could look at them when looking at the map segment.
