Who would have thought that typing things into a computer could be a bigger challenge than riding a bicycle half way around the world? Nevertheless it seems so, at least in the early stages. After a couple of months of planning and procrastinating (in unequal measure) I've finally started the task of effectively gathering and ordering the stories, adventures, lessons and philosophies that 'The Cycling Reporter' brought into my life.

Right now the thought of authoring an entire book with any sort of coherence terrifies me more than slightly, but if I learn one thing from cycling it was that by chipping away at something day by day and ignoring setbacks then just about anything is achievable. Practice what you preach they say, and 'they' are rarely wrong.

In other news - it's a bank holiday next week in the U.K. I'll be having myself another lovely little mini-adventure - I encourage you to make the most of that extra weekend day as well!
