I`ve just finished `One man and his bike` by Mike Carter, a good read about his 5,000 mile cycle ride around the coast of Britain.
And about to start on `Obessive Compulsive Cycling Disorder` by Dave Barter.

Dear EC

I found a copy of Anne Mustoes book "Lone Traveller" in a skip at the Elephant and Castle. Best thing I've ever found in a skip. Ever felt your not fit enough, not good enough a cyclist, not experianced enough at camping etc to do a major trip? LT is about her second trip around the world.
I'm now reading her first book (I actually bought this one!)called "A Bike Ride", She retired, bought a bike and cycled around the world on her own at 54! Her idea of following the ancient trading routes is great. I'm off next week, if I can find someone to look after the business, wife and kids!

The ISBN for "A Bike Ride" is: 978-0-86369-650-3

Have Fun!

I have read "Mountainbike like a champ" by Ned overend (really!)
Also recently read Marc Beaumonts' book "The man who cycled the Americas" about his trip from North to South (Alaska to Tierra del Fuego).

Neither were particularly inspiring I think I will advice on what to read from you guys.
