A Bike Ride

Join Stanley Sprocket for a 5 day cycle ride across France. He cycled from the Pyrenees Mountains to the North Coast and on to Oxford, England, for May Day. Using a simple road map, without a tent or a sleeping bag, a mobile phone or a watch, Stanley proves to himself that roughing it in cardboard houses, en-route, is perhaps every bit as grim as you think it could be.

Cycling 200km each day, however, does get you much fitter than a cheap budget flight, even if it does cost you more! It's what you see along the way that can make a journey great; memorable. 

If you've just booked a seat for a two hour flight over Europe, this a the book to read at 30,000 ft. You may find yourself extending your trip and cycling back!

Even if you hate cycling, you're still enjoy this book.
