Riding my Bike: A bikepacker's tales from the trails (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781787920668)

Bikepacking has been an activity since bikes were invented, but in recent years it has really grown in popularity. The UK has proven itself to be an exceptional place for bike-bound, off-road adventures.

In this book, Mike takes you on his journey to becoming a competent bikepacker and it's filled with top tips and good advice. It contains tales from some of our greatest bikepacking routes including the Highland Trail 550, the Trans Cambrian and the Lakeland 300 routes.

The centrepiece of the book is Mike's own Cylchdaith Cymru/Welsh 550 journey around his adopted home of Wales.

Mike is a naturalist, mountaineer and educator and as such he comments knowledgeably on the countryside and how it is being managed. He tells tales of the people he meets, the people he cycles with, and the places he visits.

This is a bikepacking travelogue for our times.
