Not just about the physical challenge
This book was an engrossing and entertaining read (admittedly for a person who loves cricket and has dappled in a bit of long distance cycling!).
What is most refreshing is the authors focus on the experience of the cycle and the journey. So often these cycling books focus on the physical challenge, but Oli manages to combine vivid descriptions of the changing cultural and physical landscape with his own physical and emotional battles. This is not just a book for those who love cricket.
He has definitely cleared the fence with this one. Can't wait for book number two!
