Meet Andrew: French teacher, writer and long-distance cyclist.
Now, meet Reggie, his bike.
With two European cycling adventures already under his belt, Andrew was ready for a new challenge. Exchanging his job as a teacher in Oxfordshire for an expedition on Reggie the bike, he set off on his most daring trip yet: a journey from Tarifa in Spain to Nordkapp in Norway – from Europe’s geographical south to its northernmost point.
Join the duo as they take on an epic journey across nearly 8000 km of Europe, through mountains, valleys, forests and the open road, proving that no matter where you’re headed, life on two wheels is full of surprises.

"An excellent read from start to the finish of this impressive odyssey from the Southern most point of Europe to the Northernmost point.”

"Great follow-up to the previous two adventures, the style has matured and as ever, he makes you want to get on the bike and adventure... Inspiring indeed.”
“Loved this book and couldn't put it down. I can barely ride a bike but loved the writing - especially the humour. I've read both Andrew Syke's other books and this is even better.”
"This is a cracking tale of an epic ride [blending] cycling, humour, history, stupidity and friendship into a book that is entertaining and well written.”
