Free-wheeling on and off road – along obscure lanes, bridleways and disused railway lines – the book reveals a fresh perspective on our country. Revel in beautiful breathtaking and exhilarating cycle routes and scenery in the six regions of Britain and find out the unusual ways to enjoy these islands, whether it’s going to green man festivals, learning local customs or resting up at remote campsites or posh yurts!

Share in Clare Balding’s practical and cycle-related challenge and learn how to make the most of pedal power with guidance on reading a map, puncture repair, bad weather and tricky terrain.
