As Ellie's fiftieth birthday approaches and her ambitions of a steady income, a successful career and an ascent of Everest seem as far away as ever, she begins to doubt she's capable of achieving anything at all. So when her best friend Mick suggests a gruelling cycle ride from Land's End to John o'Groats, she takes up the challenge. They opt for the scenic route which takes them along cycle paths, towpaths and the back roads and byways of Britain, unable to resist sampling local beers in the pubs they pass along the way. But as the pints start to stack up faster than the miles they're putting under their tyres, Ellie wonders if they'll ever make it to the finishing line? SELLING POINTS: ? The first humorous travelogue of the iconic 'End-to-End' bicycle route, attempted by thousands every year ? Includes little known and quirky facts and stories about the places along the way for all types of staycationers, and a pub and beer index EXTRACT: 'One more wouldn't hurt,' said Mick I look at him doubtfully. 'I'm not sure. It's gone three o'clock already. What time does it get dark in Cornwall at this time of year?' I was having serious doubts about our ability to cycle a thousand miles if we had managed to get waylaid so easily after sixteen.
