Acknowledgements

I’d like to thank my long-suffering partner Carl McKeating, who has done everything but write the book; riding all the routes (some several times) and even completing ‘the Way in a Day’ in the interests of proving that it is possible for a mere mortal. Also thanks to my children, who have supported me on lots of cycling trips and have learned to ride bikes during the writing of this book.

Some other great people have volunteered their time to help. Thanks to Scott Barnett, Angela Newton, Mike Armstrong, Beck Crolla, Chris and Harriet Truss, Paul Copley, Charlotte Hatch, Glen Thistlethwaite, Marc Harrison, Bridget and James Blanchard, Ed Clews, Malcolm McCauley and Leo Carne. I am also grateful to Richard Keeble and the team at AGH for patching up my arm after I hit some ice during a research ride. Finally thanks to the late Dave Crolla, who passed on the wisdom that ‘you can never have too many bikes’ and who would have loved cycling the Way of the Roses.
