It's All About the Bike
Join Rob on his new Beach to Border bike ride
To celebrate the paperback publication of the Sunday Times bestseller, It's All About the Bike, Rob Penn has devised his very own beach to border bike ride across Wales - an old fashioned ride that goes to the heart of what cycling is all about.
Rob says,
Beach to border is all about 'slow cycling' and about adventure, reading a map, glorious countryside, lying in hedgerows, enjoying the rain and being profligate with time. It's about good company, having an appetite, quiet market towns, whizzing downhill, local food, pints, picnics by the river and the rhythm of two spinning wheels. It's about making your heart sing. It's about making the world stand still.
