About the Author

After years of road running and mountaineering had wreaked havoc with his knees, Richard Barrett returned to long-distance cycling in his 50s when he bought himself a classic British-made touring bike. Now in his 60s, he rides a handmade bike from one of the great British frame makers that have appeared in recent years. Combined with sea-kayaking, cycling allows him to continue his love affair with the more mountainous parts of the UK which he first visited as a teenager.

His career was spent in marketing in a number of multinational organisations in the UK and abroad, but he now lives on North Harris in the Western Isles where he and his wife enjoy an active and busy retirement.
