| وصف الكتاب | At the age of 59, Ann decided that there was no time like the present and gave up her job to cycle round the world. Her first bike was stolen in Bulgaria, she was knocked down by a buffalo cart in India and battled with a parasitic illness in Malaysia. These were some of the challenges she had to deal with, but above all, what stood out for Ann was the depth of human kindness she experienced throughout her travels. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | With all the interest in cycling and the need to exercise more at the moment, this is an excellent 'put your money where your mouth is' story. It is written by someone, who at the age of 59, and a late convert to cycling, proved that at any age you can really enjoy riding a bike, albeit a bit of an extreme adventure if you had only limited experience of cycle touring. This isn't a dull travel log, it moves along nicely - most days the miles that are covered by bike are just mentioned in passing. As well as meeting 'interesting' people along the way there's the 'excitement' of finding lodgings for the night, not an easy thing to do if you are on your own, in a foreign country and it's late at night and raining. After a sedate start travelling through the nicer parts of Europe (when the saddle soreness kicks in) the journey is followed by the excitement of India and not-so-nice experiences early on in Asia then the long ride through North America. Ann proves that if you really want to experience countries to their fullest, do it on your own, and the number of new friends she meets and stays with along the way proves this point. Apart from Ann being the 'star' of the book, credit must be given to the bike(s) (one was stolen - now I know why riders take their bike into their room). The second bike was an eastern European type, not noted for lightness but it still proved its worth. These bikes underwent so much ... ridden daily, put in sheds, packed in boxes, boarded on trains, planes, buses, and various cars and used again & again. They were loaded with panniers front and back, and got Ann safely around the world and back home to Ulverston. This is a must-read book for anyone who dreams of adventure but just needs a nudge in the right direction to get up and do it. Paul Loftus MBE President of The Fred Whitton Challenge |
