A TRAIL OF TWO CITIES
The question may be 'Howthe Dickens did Ian come up with an idea like this?' But if you had the answer to that question then much of this book would be far too easy to comprehend.
Once again, Ian, in his inimitable manner, takes you on a serpentine journey - not always of his own making - as he peppers the diary of his 1,300 mile ride with reminiscences, the odd - and I mean odd - mind bender, and the not so odd fact, here and there.
As on previous tours his trusty bike takes him away from and back to his 'garden gate' and inbetween times he rides down the Western Front of WW1, on to Versailles, then onwards to the Normandy Beaches, where bunting was out - but not for him - and finally stoppig off on old friends as he makes his progress homwards and to his wife, Mary Jane and Tabby the cat.
