This is an e-book available for a paltry 77pence that was recommended to me by Ollie (thanks for that) "Obsessive Compulsive Cycling Disorder is an anthology of thirty articles written by an amateur cyclist over a period of ten years. The collection exhibits the madness that engulfs those who descend into cycling obsession, celebrating the average cyclist living in a world defined by the pros. The writings range from fanciful musings concerning the Tao of singlespeeding to lengthy descriptions of end-to-end rides in Britain and Ireland. Mountain biking, road cycling and all sorts of other cycling events are chronicled along the way. Each is written in a lighthearted style designed to bring the reader into the author’s world which is often littered with incident and humour. Within the pages the reader will find a loose ticklist of events to ride, bikes to own and challenges to take on. Each described in the author’s own inimitable style." Ive only read the intro and the first chapter but it did have me giggling (a lot) and nodding in agreement at the journey through life of one man to becoming a "normal" british cyclist. Its 77p on Amazon, go on, download it now  its availbale at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Obsessive-Compulsi...t_at_ep_dpt_1#_ |

Glad you enjoyed it so far Other good reads are (most enjoyed first) Dividing the Great (John Metcalf) Great Divide Account, two mates. Be Brave, Be Strong (Jill Homer) Great Divide Account, solo racer. Ghost Trails (Jill Homer) Racing the Iditarod on a fatbike. Kok & Tvatt. Riding a Tandem through Scandinavia. Mostly in the 77p - £1.50 range, one may have been £3. Edit: You don't need a Kindle, you can read it using a smartphone app/tablet. Cleverly, all devices sync so I can use my Kindle one evening, and then the next day when I want to read a bit on my phone at lunchtime, it jumps to the correct page
