“I tried cycle touring for the first time after reading a book by Josie Dew. I’ve always been a keen cyclist but never as a mode of travel. That was until I went on that first weekend. Now I don’t wish to go anywhere by any other means but my bike. My trips have mainly been a couple day adventures around Devon and Cornwall but I have just got back from my first 2 week tour in France and am planning for more already. My kit hasn’t even dried properly!”
