Book excerpt: What would happen if you were cycling to the office and just kept on pedalling? Needing a change, Mike Carter did just that. Following the Thames to the sea he embarked on an epic 5,000 mile ride around the entire British coastline - the equivalent of London to Calcutta. He encountered drunken priests, drag queens and gnome sanctuaries. He met fellow travellers and people building for a different type of future. He also found a spirit of unbelievable kindness and generosity that convinced him that Britain is anything but broken. This is the inspiring and very funny tale of the five months Mike spent cycling the byways of the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook provides 14 stages of route description to cycling along the Moselle river, a route that offers stunning scenery, plentiful accommodation and places to eat and drink, and straightforward cycling throughout. A well-waymarked, generally downhill 512km route, it is mostly off-road and on well-surfaced cycle tracks (mainly asphalt) with virtually no gradients, and the majority is along the riverbank or on canal towpaths. From its source in the Vosges Mountains of eastern France, the Moselle flows through the French region of Lorraine and crosses into Luxembourg then into the German Rheinland region before it reaches its confluence with the Rhine at the west German city of Koblenz. Suitable for both veteran long-distance cyclists and for newcomers to cycle touring who wish to start with an easy-to-follow journey, the route can be completed in a week by fit cyclists, cycling two stages per day. Two weeks allow for alternative stages and optional excursions through the Saar and Rhine gorges and to visit the Boucles de Moselle and the city of Luxembourg, and give enough time for sightseeing and a leisurely riding pace.

Download or read book Cycling L n Las Cymru written by Peter Adcock and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opened in 1995, Lôn Las Cymru is one of the toughest of all long distance routes on the National Cycle Network (NCN). Sustrans describe it as a "challenge" route but it's short enough to be completed in a week by a self supported cyclist. With over 5,000m of climbing, the rider will need to be fairly fit and comfortable riding in often remote locations. Lôn Las Cymru crosses three mountain ranges (Snowdonia, Cambrian Mountains and The Brecon Beacons) it is lumpy but the rewards are certainly worth it. There are two finishing points, Cardiff which is all on NCR 8 or Chepstow which requires a detour onto NCR 42 but does take the rider across the stunning Gospel Pass over the Black Mountains. I decided to stick to NCR 8 all the way and finish in Cardiff but I did consider the Chepstow finish as it would have been easy for me to cycle home to Bristol from there. This is an account of my trip in July 2021 north to south - Holyhead to Cardiff over 250 miles / 400km across some stunning countryside and visiting some lovely places along the way.
