Wales Trails

In 2016 Dave turned fifty years old and realised that eleven years was far too long to wait between cycling adventures, even though in 2005, after he and a friend rode the iconic Land's End to John o' Groats challenge, Dave swore he'd never sit on a saddle again."When you've forgotten the pain of your last time on a road bike why not invent a new and exciting challenge closer to home? The plan - to create a loop of Wales, ride over 600 miles for charity and put your country firmly on the cycling bucket list. This is the story of one man's attempt to establish 'Wales Trails' as a 'must-do' bike ride for all the thousands of cyclists out there in the world. A vision that one day, the land of the dragon, with its rapidly diminishing yet rich cultural heritage, will become a 'LEJOG-lite' that all bikers will want to do!"More than just a guide, this book is a funny and thought-provoking account of two weeks in the summer of 2016 when one man's dream becomes reality. If this book doesn't encourage you to get on your bike, while you still can, it should at least provide a few laughs as you sit in the pub reading it.
