Welcome to Bike Ride Books
A Bit Scott-ish is the tale of a journey through Scotland, meeting locals and fellow travellers, delving into Scotland’s tumultuous history, surviving storm and wind, and discovering
just how hopeless it is possible to be at Nature.
And at finding the way.
And at quite a few other things as well.
Mike Carden pedals via the Orkney Islands, the flow country of Sutherland, the Cairngorm mountains, rolling Perthshire, historic Stirling, the rocky coast of Fife, the romantic city of Edinburgh and the Borders, bringing his own descriptive style to a beautiful land.

The Full English
Pedalling from one end of England to the other, the author struggles heroically with Man-Flu, Mid-Life Crisis and with Scott, a bike with a serious attitude problem.
From the Dorset coast to Northumbria, via Glastonbury, Ludlow, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, he indulges a passion for the history of England through its castles, abbeys and ancient towns, while encountering England's people - the friendly, the funny and the deliciously eccentric.
"This thoroughly enjoyable chronicle of one man's
'mid-life crisis' is England's answer
to Round Ireland with a Fridge,
by Tony Hawks - but without the fridge."
