All Downhill From Here: Our John o' Groats to Land's End Cycling Adventure and How You Can Do It Too

Paul and Simon hardly know each other. In fact Simon thinks Paul is a bit of a *@&%. So theyre both surprised when after a few drinks in the pub one evening they agree to take on Britains most famous cycling challenge together - 900 miles from Lands End to John o Groats. Especially since they are both novice cyclists. Somehow they persuade their partners Bek and Kirsty to give up their summer holidays to drive the length of Britain twice in the role of support crew. But when the car breaks down driving to the start-line the omens dont look good for a smooth ride. What follows is a hilarious but life-affirming adventure full of mishaps arguments and a bit too much alcohol on Simons part as they journey up and down through the best and worst that Britain has to offer - headwinds against them all the way. All Downhill From Here tells the story of their journey how it sowed the seeds for a lifelong friendship and many more big adventures. Based on these experiences Paul has included a section full of useful advice and insights for anyone new to long-distance cycling and wanting to conquer the famous Lands End to John o Groats bike ride or other similar challenges.
