Will you be writing a book about your adventures? Sort of Zen and the art of cycling
Having read a few books about long bike trips I'd say probably not, no. They all tend to be a bit dull, just a list of towns, the distance between each town and what the author had for lunch & dinner that day.As much as cycling around the world seems like a huge glamorous adventure which I suppose it is in a way, if you were to watch or read about what I do each day it's quite repetitive, especially over almost 4 years. Eat sleep ride repeat....

I'm going to be live on BBC Radio Sussex this morning at 10:40. For those of you who don't live in Sussex it's also available on iPlayer.
While I think about it, is this the sort of thing that PH puts in the news these days? I know it's not really car related but I've been a member on here for over 11 years and they could talk about the Spa / Ring laps for the car angle. Would more people be interested in reading about my travels who wouldn't be seen dead on a bike now that they can drive and never venture in to Pedal Powered do you think?
I vaguely remember emailing PH news just after I'd been to the Ring but didn't hear back from them. Who are the resident PH staff / bike nuts these days? Anything you can do to help?
