Publisher description
Alistair needed to get his life back on track. His family were learning to deal with the loss, so why couldn't he? Maybe he just needed time to put everything into perspective. But how? The answer came unexpectedly, in the form of a challenge. To cycle 890 miles, from one end of Britain to another, with two friends. But he only had eight weeks to prepare, rarely cycled and didn't own a bike. Luckily, his brother was working out of town had one in his garage. It wasn't ideal, but it was free. With little planning, limited training and no idea about the merits of Lycra they set off from Land's End, towards the remote Scottish enclave of John O'Groats. Alistair knew his mum would have been proud. Along the way they found a secret short cut, went in search of the Beatles and met many amazing characters. They also experienced the hottest day of summer, survived two storms and endured a memorable night in a Youth Hostel. For one of the cyclists, the journey would change their life
