Mark Beaumont
[borrowed paperback]
Oh I have learnt so much and been so inspired by Mark Beaumont's 'The Man Who Cycled The World' and his latest book 'The Man Who Cycled The Americas'. They are both funny, gruelling and fantastic reads that offer great insights into tour and endurance cycling. 'The Man Who Cycled The Americas' also includes his climbing the two tallest American mountains. This book is well worth its read and will appeal to cyclists and non cyclists alike. Mark, please give us a detailed appendix about your kit. 4.5/5 |
Corgi Books
[Borrowed Paperback] This is by far the most inspiring cycling book that I have read. Mark weaves a fantastic tale about his land speed record cycling around the world. It is well written, educational and wonderfully interesting. 4.5/5 |
Penguin Random House
[Kindle Book] Another great Mark book. Tales from the highways as Mark rides from Cairo to Capetown. I wasn’t ready for the speed of this record breaking ride, so it took me awhile to adapt from Mark’s more wistful previous books. However once I learned to enjoy it for what it was I really got into it. 4/5 |
My World Record Breaking Adventure
Mark Beaumont Corgi [Kindle Book] 4/5 Fantastic page turning cycling book. Adventure packed, gobsmacking and exciting. I approached the book knowing that it was not going to be about people and places, but wasn’t quite ready for how Mark and ‘record’ focused it was. I have read all of Mark’s books, learnt heaps in this one and eagerly wait for another. |
