I've pretty much finished Mark Beaumonts book and I'm after something else of a similar nature. Maybe a bit less whinging and complaining but bike related.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Dunno if it's on iBooks but Tim Moore's French Revolutions? Guy with very little cycling previous does route of Tour de France. Pretty funny in places and moving on the subject of Tom Simpson and Mount Ventoux.
Cool, thanks - I'll look to see if its on there
I enjoyed both these by Jill Homer, more off road endurance riding.

josie dews on ibooks- but i didnt particularly like her writing style - some folk on here love her books - i struggled through long cloud ride just for the memorys induced from when i did the same thing !
I keep meaning to buy [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Youve-Gone-This-Time-ebook/dp/B004L62DJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1326373071&sr=1-1 ]You've gone too far this time, sir[/url]. It's got a fair number of good reviews (though I wonder how many of them are from his pupils) and is only 72p.
Just stumble across this one [url= http://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/its-all-about-the-bike/id385903030?mt=11 ] it's all about the bike[/url]
I've just finishe Full Tilt: Ireland to India with a Bicycle by Dervla Murphy it was a great read.
EDIT: I'm not sure I really enjoyed French Revolutions, a bit whiny and stupid at times, not unlike Beaumont.
'Moods of future joys' by Alistair Humphries is good, he was in no hurry, unlike Beaumont!

and I've just got 'Cycles, Tents and two young Gents' on my kindle, which looks promising
Cycling Home From Siberia
by Rob Lilwall
(He actually met Mark beaumont on the way!)
Anyone read this: [url= http://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/one-man-and-his-bike/id440662834?mt=11 ]One Man and his Bike[/url]
Oooh, I've read Cycling Home from Siberia - a really good read and especially liked how under-prepared he was for his first trip. Proper funny.
Good suggestions, will get downloading tonight!
