The Hour. It's the only cycling record that matters: one man and his bike against the clock in a quest for pure speed. No teammates, no rivals, no tactics, no gears, no brakes. Just one simple question - in sixty minutes, how far can you go?

Left on a bench

I found this book on a bench at the harbour in Amble. I loved the idea of being involved in the book crossing straight away after reading about it! Sorry it has taken me so long to read the book and release it back into the wild to continue its journey!
About the actual book - took me a while to get into it but then I was hooked!
I have left the book on a bench in Rainhill - Merseyside - intrigued to see where it goes next - I'll be checking in!

Travel safe!
